On Saturday, January 4, 2020, at approximately 5:49 AM, NHP Troopers were dispatched to a serious injury crash involving two vehicles at US-50 and Churchill County mile marker 13, near Trento Lane, in Fallon.
Preliminary investigation shows a white 2008 Ford F450 pickup carrying a sleeper camper and towing a utility trailer laden with a Yamaha Rhino was traveling westbound on US-50 in the right lane, west of Churchill County mile marker 13. A silver 2017 Ram 1500 pickup was traveling in the same direction and occupying the left lane behind the Ford F450.
For unknown reasons, the Ford F450 entered the left lane in the direct path of the Ram 1500. The Ram 1500 struck the left side of the Ford F450. The driver of the Ford F450 (David Pearsall, a 77-year old Colbert, WA resident) was pronounced deceased at the scene.

I would like to commend Rachael Dahl and the Fallon post for their article. Civics 101. This is a reminder that we as citizens live in a representative form of government and why it is so important that we vote as voting is our way of making our voice heard.

Comment text: Knew Sis from the B of A as a teller and in social gatherings around Fallon. When we bought our land in Kingston, Sis regaled us with her stories of gatherings at the old restaurant & bar on the way to Groves lake. Sis often said, 'What happens in Kingston stays in Kingston!' Fun & funny lady.

I can't begin to imagine the pain your family is suffering. So much comfort in knowing she and baby are with Jesus.
God Bless you all during this tragedy. Love, Ruth Fiege
