Fallon, Nevada -- On Saturday, May 9, at approximately 12:17 AM, Troopers responded to a fatal crash involving a gray 2007 Ford F-350 on SR-715 (McLean Road) near Churchill County mile marker 1. The driver was identified as Jacob Bereta.

Bereta allowed his vehicle to drift off the roadway to the right dirt shoulder. He overcorrected the vehicle to the left, which resulted in a broadside skid and overturned. Due to not wearing a seatbelt, Bereta was ejected and sustained fatal injuries.

Impairment is suspected, as is cell phone use while driving. He was also in possession of a stolen firearm.

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
