RENO, Nev. (AP) - Authorities have identified a 70-year-old Virginia man who was pronounced dead after a motorhome crash last week on a remote stretch of highway in northern Nevada.
The Nevada Highway Patrol said Friday that John Virgil Spillman of Stanley, Virginia, was alone driving the 1986 Southwind motorhome when it hit a guardrail and crashed onto its side about 8:20 a.m. April 26 on U.S. 95 north of Hawthorne.
Spillman was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later.
Trooper Matt McLaughlin says the cause of the wreck hasn’t been determined, pending an autopsy on the driver and mechanical tests on the vehicle.
