Gardnerville man in custody for January fatal crash in Carson City
The Nevada Highway Patrol said Tuesday that it has made an arrest in connection with a fatal crash that happened Jan. 6 on South Carson Street in which an 81-year-old woman died.
NHP's Multi-Disciplinary Investigation and Reconstruction Team investigated the fatal crash that happened on South Carson Street at the intersection of Koontz Lane, said NHP Trooper Matt McLaughlin.
A black 1997 Ford F-150 being driven by Omar Adan Oronia-Camacho failed to stop at the red light while driving northbound on South Carson Street.
Oronia-Camacho entered the intersection and struck the driver side of a silver 2004 Buick Lesabre which was preparing to turn left onto South Carson Street from Koontz Lane on a green traffic signal. The driver, Rosemary Stroup, died as a result of the injuries she sustained from the crash.
On Friday June 8, Nevada Highway Patrol Troopers made contact with Oronia-Camacho at his residence in Gardnerville.
Oronia-Camacho was taken into custody without incident on a felony bench warrant issued by the Carson City Justice Court related to the fatal crash, said McLaughlin.
He will appear in Carson City Justice Court to face charges of felony reckless driving resulting in death or substanial bodily harm, misdemeanor failure to obey traffic control devices and misdemeanor driving without a valid driver's license.
The crash was not DUI related, according to NHP.
