One person dead, another injured

The Washoe County Sheriff's Office has reported a tragic incident that occurred early Wednesday morning, resulting in the death of one person. The accident took place at approximately 2:45 am on McCarran Boulevard, near Rancho San Rafael Park in Reno, Nevada.

According to investigators, a teenage girl was driving eastbound when her vehicle suddenly veered off the road and crashed into the park. The car eventually came to a stop in a ravine. Although the driver sustained injuries from the crash and was promptly transported to the hospital for treatment, the severity of her injuries remains unknown at this time.

Tragically, her passenger - another teenage girl - was ejected from the vehicle during impact and tragically lost her life at the scene of the accident. The identity of both individuals involved has not been disclosed by authorities.

In response to this devastating incident, law enforcement closed down all eastbound lanes on McCarran Boulevard as they conducted their investigation. However, one westbound lane remained open to ensure traffic flow. By 6:00 am local time, all lanes were reopened for regular use.

At present, it is still unclear what caused the driver's car to veer off course leading up to this fatal crash. Authorities are actively investigating all possible factors that may have contributed to this unfortunate event.
