Dennis Kunz Obituary, Death – On Wednesday afternoon, a fatal accident in Elko County resulted in the death of one individual. According to the Nevada Highway Patrol, the crash happened around 2:12 p.m. on July 31 on I-80 in the county.
Initial reports indicate that a white 2014 Toyota Highlander was traveling east in the left lane when the driver lost control of the vehicle. The car veered off the road’s left side and then overcorrected to the right, crossing both eastbound lanes before overturning on the shoulder.
Tragically, the driver, 34-year-old Dennis Kunz from Elko, was ejected from the vehicle because he was not wearing a seatbelt and suffered fatal injuries. The other passengers in the car, who had non-life-threatening injuries, were transported to a nearby hospital for medical care.
This devastating incident underscores the crucial need to wear seatbelts and adhere to traffic safety regulations. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Dennis Kunz’s family and friends during this challenging time.
