Deadly motorcycle collision leaves one dead, one hospitalized

VIRGINIA CITY, Nev. (MyNews4.com & KRNV) — A motorcycle collision on SR-341 has left one rider dead.

According to the Nevada Highway Patrol, a motorcycle traveling up the hill on Geiger Grade towards Virginia City veered out of the lane and struck a motorcyclist traveling downhill. The unidentified driver of the motorcycle traveling uphill was pronounced dead at the scene.

NHP Trooper Karen Garretson said this time of year as an especially dangerous one on that road. “We have a lot of tourists in town for the holiday season just always take it easy because there’s a lot of turns and curvatures on this road and if you’re not familiar with it, then just take it slow.”

We are told the driver of the other motorcycle involved in the crash was up and walking around after the incident. That person was transported to Renown with minor injures to their leg and is expected to be fine.
