A woman injured in an accident near Moapa earlier this month has died.

According to Nevada Highway Patrol, Barbara M. Nelson, 73, from Spokane, Wash., died Tuesday at University Medical Center from injuries she received in a Jan. 11 crash.

Authorities said Nelson was driving a 2008 Subaru sport utility vehicle south on state Route 169 when a 1995 Toyota turned in front of her.

Both drivers were taken to UMC.

The other driver's condition was not known Wednesday.

    Come on Blaskey, you should have stopped after the second paragraph.

    It's always funny to read the comments. It's amazing to me how much energy is wasted on week, baseless accusations! If the reporter doesn't include something in his report its probably because he was not given that information... More than likely the other driver was a minor and no information is ever given in that case.

    Oscar, "Authorities said Nelson was driving a 2008 Subaru sport utility vehicle south on state Route 169 when a 1995 Toyota turned in front of her" which would lead one to believe the survivor was at fault. I too find it interesting the killer was not identified nor was any information provided as to whether or not that individual had insurance. For the sake of the decedent's family I sure hope the offended had insurance or a one week stay at the hospital could possibly ruin a family who was victimized in the accident.

    I don't see the name and age of the other driver that turned in front of this killed driver. Was this killed driver cut off? Who was in the wrong? This is an incomplete article. The Elderly woman deserves to have the facts exposed as to WHO caused her death. Instead, this article appears to be deliberately omitting some information. She was old. She is Dead. Brush it off. Let the readers assume it was HER fault.
