A five-car pileup in the northbound lane of Highway 395 near the Lakeview exit and an overturned semi-truck filled with bottled water in the southbound lane have authorities busy this morning as several inches of snow has begun to accumulate.
No injuries are reported in the accidents, but they have stalled traffic along the slick highway. The southbound off-ramp onto the freeway was ordered shut down at about 10:20 this morning by the Carson City Sheriff's office. It remains closed as of noon.
The semi-truck accident was reported shortly before 10 and the multi-vehicle pileup happened at around 10:10 this morning. Fire and rescue crews, Carson City Sheriff's officers and the Nevada Highway Patrol are all dealing with multiple accidents on both ends of town.
Other accidents have been reported at College Park Village (vehicle into a fence, no injuries at 12:45 p.m.); Brown and Gordon (NHP requesting a Carson City Sheriff's Office deputy to respond at 11:56 a.m.) Curry and Rose (11:38 a.m., a vehicle into a tree) Robinson and Carson Street (a snowplow and a Dodge Durango reported at about 11:22), College Parkway, Saliman Road and North Carson Street. Meanwhile snow removal plows and sanders are out in full force as about four inches have fallen within the last two hours.
