Reno, NV (March 1, 2025) – Authorities responded to a serious vehicle collision at McCarran Blvd and Las Brisas on Friday afternoon, resulting in three people being hospitalized, according to the Reno Police Department.
The crash occurred around 2:33 p.m., leading to an extensive emergency response. Officials reported that two of the occupants were ejected from one of the vehicles as it came to rest on McCarran Blvd, as they were not wearing seatbelts. The other vehicle involved veered off the roadway and traveled down an embankment, ultimately stopping in the parking lot of the Zephyr Point apartment complex.
Emergency responders, including paramedics and fire crews, worked quickly to assist those injured in the crash. The severity of the injuries sustained by the individuals involved has not yet been disclosed.
Authorities do not suspect speed or impairment as contributing factors in the collision. North McCarran Blvd was temporarily closed in both directions between W 7th St and Kings Row but reopened around 1:40 p.m. as officials cleared the scene and conducted their investigation.
Our thoughts are with those injured, and we hope for a full and swift recovery.
