A Southern California woman died in a single-vehicle accident near Glenbrook on June 3.

Darlene M. Hall, 75, of Skyforest was pronounced dead at the scene of the 8:35am accident on Highway 50. She was wearing her seat belt.

One of the two dogs in the vehicle also died. The other was taken to a veterinarian with serious injuries.

Hall was traveling west in a 2009 GMC Yukon when the vehicle went off the north paved shoulder and down a dirt slope. The vehicle struck several large rocks and boulders head on. The vehicle came to rest upright on its wheels.

Neither alcohol nor drugs is suspected as a factor in the cause of the incident. However, Nevada Highway Patrol troopers do not know what caused Hall to drive off the pavement.

Anyone who may have information related to this incident is asked to contact Trooper Chris Austin at 775.684.7381 or caustin@dps.state.nv.us.
