NHP identifies Carson City woman in fatal crash early Friday on I-580
A Carson City woman has been identified as the victim of a fatal motor vehicle accident that happened early Friday morning on I-580 in Washoe County, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
Kaylinn Boling, 23, died in the accident that happened near the Bowers Mansion exit, said NHP Trooper Matt McLaughlin. On Friday at approximately 2:25 a.m., troopers were dispatched to a serious injury crash on Interstate 580 south of the Galena Creek Bridge north of the US-395 Alternate Bowers Mansion exit.
Preliminary investigation shows that a light green 1999 Honda Civic sedan was traveling southbound on I-580, south of the Galena Creek Bridge. The driver of the Honda, Kaylinn Boling, allowed the vehicle to travel onto the inside shoulder, striking the concrete median barrier, according to NHP.
The Honda rotated and overturned, still traveling in a southerly direction. The driver was not wearing her seatbelt and was ejected as the vehicle overturned. The Honda came to rest on its wheels on the inside shoulder and leftmost travel lane facing northeast, according to NHP.
The Carson City woman succumbed to her injuries and died at the scene. The two left lanes of southbound I-580 were closed for the investigation. Traffic was rerouted into the far right lane and the outside shoulder until all southbound lanes of travel were reopened at 6:30 a.m.
