A head-on collision near Glenbrook on Tuesday morning did not result in life-threatening injuries for either driver, but it did make for a slow drive.

Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Chuck Allen told Lake Tahoe News the driver of the Dodge sedan was taken to Renown Medical Center in Reno for a “significant injury to the leg.”

The driver of the truck was not injured.

The driver of this sedan sustained a leg injury.

Allen said the driver of the car took his eyes off the road, drifted into oncoming traffic headed west and then struck the three-axle truck.

Les Wright, who runs the Lake Tahoe Marathon, said the truck involved in the accident was on its way to the South Shore to make a delivery.

“Every year something happens to our finishers medals. While stuck behind traffic for 45 minutes today I got two calls from our importer and our delivery truck that the delivery truck was in a serious accident,” Wright wrote in an email to several people.

The 10:50am accident blocked three lanes of the highway for about 30 minutes. The entire highway was open at 3:18pm.
