A 30-year-old Carson City man whose parents live in Meyers was killed in a car wreck on Luther Pass on Wednesday night.

The name of the victim has not been released.

He was driving a Ford F150 north on Highway 89 near Grass Lake at an unknown rate of speed when he drifted onto the shoulder, overcorrected and went into oncoming traffic, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Officer Ruth Loehr told Lake Tahoe News toxicology reports are pending.

The pickup was totaled after colliding with a Chevy 4500 belonging to PR Supply that was in the opposite lane. The vehicle was driven by a 36-year-old man from Gardnerville who was not injured.

A Subaru with three people could not avoid the initial wreck. The two adults were taken to Barton Memorial Hospital with minor to moderate injuries. A 2-year-old boy in that vehicle was not injured.

Highway 89 was closed for more than three hours after the 4:30pm Feb. 1 accident.
