Moxy Ruckus to Perform During the Capital City Brewfest in Carson City

Carson City and Douglas County emergency crews are on scene of a single vehicle crash that occurred about three miles west of Spooner Junction up U.S. Highway 50 toward Lake Tahoe Thursday night.

The vehicle is reported to be blocking the No. 1 eastbound travel lane.

An ambulance is on scene. Extent of injuries is unknown.

Reader Mike Cowan sent in this photo of our local wild horses who are for some reason deciding to walk through Washoe Lake on their Thursday commute.

The lake has been slowly emptying the last few months due to the dryer conditions, and apparently the horses are taking advantage of the shallows.

Swimmers should take note: you should always yield to swimming livestock because it’s more polite than cutting through the aquatic equestrian’s here.
