Road Rage in Vehicle Roll-Over Serious Injury Accident

On Friday, October 31, 2014 at approximately 1:00 pm, Trooper’s from the Nevada Highway Patrol were dispatched to a single vehicle roll-over on IR-580 in Carson City south of US-50.

The preliminary crash investigation details indicate that a white dodge pick-up driven by James Errington a 41-year-old Fernely resident was involved in a road rage accident while driving southbound on IR-580. A Burgundy Nissan pick-up driven by Reese Cass a 52-year-old Carson City resident with Millie Cass a 61-year-old passenger encountered Mr. Errington while also traveling southbound on IR-580 exchanging obscene jesters at a high rate of speed. Mr. Errrington swerved at the Nissan without contacting the Nissan causing him to lose control leaving the highway on to the southbound US-50 on ramp striking a concrete jersey wall and overturning on to its roof. Mr. Errington was transported by air lift to the Renown Medical Center with critical injuries. The two occupants in the Nissan were not injured in the incident.

Public Safety personnel temporarily closed all the southbound lanes diverting traffic on to US 50 while troopers took measurements and identified tire marks and other crash investigation evidence.

The Nevada Highway Patrol would like to remind everyone to not engage in road rage while driving on any road or highway.

Trooper Chris Austin is investigating this accident. Witnesses or anyone with information are encouraged to contact him at (775) 687-0400 regarding case number NHP-1141002555.
