A 56-year-old Gardnerville man died Tuesday night when his vehicle went over an embankment at the bottom of Kingsbury Grade in the Carson Valley.

The name of the victim is not being released pending notification of his family.

Nevada Highway Patrol officers said a Chevrolet Blazer pulling a small trailer went over the side of the road near Foothill Road about 8:30pm April 26.

The lone driver was ejected and was pronounced dead at the scene. The vehicle and trailer traveled into a barn adjacent to the roadway and caught fire.

    This was very sad to read. I came home to Genoa around 10 pm that same night (via Kingsbury Grade) and was rerouted by 88 and 395. I knew it had to be bad when they wouldn’t let me on Foothill Rd. Scary to realize how quickly something can happen and how dangerous Kingsbury Grade can be. Very sorry for his family’s loss.
