41-Year-Old Man Killed in Vehicle Crash on Interstate 80

WELLS, NV (March 8, 2022) – On Tuesday, a truck collision on Interstate 80 claimed the life of Edwin Jones, authorities said.

The vehicle crash took place on Interstate 80, approximately 2 miles east of Wells in northeast Nevada.

Furthermore, police said Jones was reportedly driving a 2021 Kenworth tractor-trailer headed west on Interstate 80.

Consequently, it collided with a truck with a tractor-trailer on the right shoulder, partly on the highway.

Eventually, the man was ejected from his trailer and died at the scene. Authorities later identified him as 41-year-old Edwin Jones.

The crash prompted the closure of the westbound Interstate 80 in the area for several hours.

Moreover, additional information will be posted as it becomes available to the public.

An active investigation into the crash is currently ongoing.
