Police say the vehicle was traveling at a high speed when it ran off the road and struck a large rock, which caused the pickup to roll over.

The driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected and died at the scene. He was identified as David Uribe, 19.

His passenger, Miguel Presidio-Neri, also was not wearing a seat belt and was taken to Washoe Medical Center for treatment.

Toxicology reports are pending, but initial reports suggest that alcohol may have been involved.

Another one-vehicle accident later Sunday took the life of Jerry McSkimming, 43, of Reno, whose car rolled down an embankment after failing to negotiate a curve on Red Rock Road. McSkimming was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected.
