Highway Patrol troopers say 21-year-old driver Heidi Shellenbarger of Dayton was at fault. When she was released from Renown, she was arrested and taken to the Lyon County Jail, where she was booked on several charges:

All the victims from the crash have now been discharged from Renown, but the Nevada Highway Patrol’s Major Accident Investigation Team is investigating this accident. Witnesses to the event or anyone with additional information should contact the Trooper Chris Austin at (775) 684-7380, regarding case #NHP-1007210101.
