WINNEMUCCA, Nev. (AP) - An investigation is underway into a wreck that killed the driver of a FedEx triple-trailer truck on Interstate 80 in Winnemucca.
Nevada Highway Patrol Lt. Harold Hughes says the driver was merging in a construction zone Friday morning when he apparently hit orange barrels and lost control of the vehicle.
He told the Elko Daily Free Press (https://bit.ly/1kT49j6 ) that the truck went off the roadway and rolled, killing the driver and injuring a male passenger.
The names of the two men were not immediately released.
FedEx spokeswoman Allison Houser issued a statement expressing condolences to the driver’s family and friends and saying the company would work directly with affected customers concerning shipments.
