Car strikes NDOT snowplow, claiming two lives on I-80 (Winnemucca, NV)

Two people died on late Monday when the subcompact collided with the rear of a NDOT (Nevada Department of Transpiration) snowplow on Interstate 80 east of Winnemucca.

Walter Lee Williams of Idaho Falls, Idaho was steering the Chevrolet Spark that hit the rear of a NDOT snowplow.

Walter Lee Williams, 79, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, was driving the car and his sister, Sherrill Lynn Mcleod, 74, of Pebble Beach, Calif., was a passenger. Both succumbed to their injuries at the scene.

The NHP said that the incident took place at around 11 p.m. about 3 miles east of Winnemucca in the westbound lanes.
