An injury accident on the east side of the Cave Rock tunnel sent one person to the hospital and made the commute into Carson City even slower.

Patricia Schille, 48, from Carson City crossed over the center line in her Subaru, striking a maroon truck driven by 58-year-old Richard Kline of South Lake Tahoe, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.

Schille was taken by ambulance to Barton Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The accident occurred about 7:30am Dec. 13 on Highway 50. The vehicles involved were in the westbound lane at least an hour after the crash.

The road is icy and slippery. People were traveling about 30 mph down Spooner Summit into Carson after inching past the accident scene in the one lane that is open.
