Carson City man identified in Nov. 5 fatal pedestrian crash at Lake Tahoe
A man killed as he crossed Highway 50 in South Lake Tahoe on Nov. 5, 2016 has been identified as 58-year-old Daniel Wallace Curry of Carson City, a South Lake Tahoe police lieutenant said Wednesday.
The delay in release of the victim's name was due to the El Dorado County Coroner's Office having trouble locating family, said SLTPD Lt. Brian Williams.
Curry was attempting to cross the roadway outside of a crosswalk near Heavenly Village Way at 10:40 p.m. when he was hit by a 61-year-old female Blackjack Taxi driver.
The accident doesn't appear to be alcohol or drug related. There have been no citations or arrests. According to Williams, the driver appears to have been driving properly.
