Dozens of car accidents have been reported in Reno thanks to a hefty snowfall during the morning commute Thursday.
On Interstate 80, more than 20 vehicles slid off the road, which caused a brief closure of both the east and westbound sides of the highway between Sparks and Fernley.
While responding to the first few accidents on that stretch of roadway, Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Duncan Dauber's own patrol car was struck from behind. He says speed was to blame and will remain his top concern for the rest of this storm.
