Highway Patrol investigating fatal crash at Hwy 50 and mile marker 13
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.       Sign up to receive updates and the Friday File email notices.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
