Two killed in northern Nevada hill climb
The Associated Press
VIRGINIA CITY, Nev. - A driver and his passenger were killed in a crash Saturday during a time-trial competition on a Nevada highway.
Storey County sheriff's deputies said driver Patrick Michael Jemison, 42, of Incline Village, and passenger Virginia Lynn Davis, 43, of Show Low, Ariz., were pronounced dead at the scene.
Deputy John Tyson said the accident occurred on Nevada Route 341 during a time-trial run of the Audi Car Club Hill Climb Race.
A preliminary investigation shows the driver went into a curve too fast and lost control of his Dodge Viper. The vehicle slid off the roadway and fell about 250 feet down a ravine.
The race course on Route 341 stretches for about 7 miles between Virginia City and Silver City.
The event is sanctioned by the Nevada Department of Transportation.
