Wrong-way driver triggers double fatal I-80 crash NV-UT line

West Wendover, Nev. • A 75-year-old Utah woman apparently drove the wrong way on Interstate 80 for nearly 20 miles (32 kilometers) before crashing into an oncoming car, killing both drivers, injuring two others and shutting down part of the interstate near the Nevada-Utah line for several hours.

The Nevada Highway Patrol identified the Utah driver Tuesday as Nanette Marlow of Draper. The other victim was identified as 58-year-old Timothy Yang of South Abington Township, Pennsylvania.

The patrol says it started looking for the maroon Nissan Marlow was driving at 2:30 p.m. Monday after it was reported traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes east of Wells.
