Earlier in the week a Yerrington man was killed in a single vehicle rollover accident.
According to the Nevada Highway Patrol, the accident happened on State Route 208 about 26 miles south of Yerington at around 7 p.m. on Monday. They said that 58 year old Mark Allen Thorpe was travelling eastbound in his 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser when he lost control of the car and drifted off the side of the road. Investigators believe that he then over corrected but this caused the vehicle to go across to the other side of the road and into a field. His car then hit an irrigation pipe and overturned. Thorpe was not wearing a seat belt and he was ejected from the car and pronounced dead at the scene.
NHP issued said in a statement saying that it is not known yet if drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash.
