Fernley man killed in crash near Wadsworth
The Fernley Reporter

A Fernley man was killed early Saturday when his truck went off a cliff near the Truckee River.

KOLO TV reports that Saul Arellano, 27, died when his truck went over an embankment south of the Truckee River, between the Painted Rock and Wadsworth exits of Interstate 80. The area where the accident occurred is in Storey County.

The truck landed upside down next to the railroad tracks, and was hit by a Union Pacific Train several hours later. Storey County Sheriff Gerald Antinoro said Arellano was killed the fall off the cliff, not the impact of the train.

Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.Comment publication date: 5/7/26, 10:26 AMComment source: Storey County, Tesla partner to extend I-80 Patrick on-rampComment author: Alan ReederComment text: Great guy, laughed easily, had fun with his students, enjoyed our time together at FHS!Comment publication date: 4/23/26, 10:23 PMComment source: Howard David JacksonComment author: Jack & Nancy CookComment text: Wonderful man.
