Authorities say two people are dead and five people are hurt after a three-vehicle crash on a highway on the northeast Lake Tahoe shoreline.

The Nevada Highway Patrol is investigating the crash that killed two men in Lake Tahoe.

The accident happened around 3:30 Tuesday afternoon on Highway 28 just south of Sand Harbor. Troopers say the driver of a pickup truck drifted across the median and hit a semi truck. There was a car right behind the semi, and the car’s driver pulled over to the shoulder. But the pickup slammed into the car.

Two men inside the car died at the scene. Two women who were in the car were taken to the hospital in critical condition. The driver of the pickup truck and his three passengers have non-life threatening injuries.

The accident closed that section of Highway 28 for several hours as the Nevada Highway Patrol investigated the crash.

Cause of the Lake Tahoe Car Accident

If news accounts from KOLO-TV in Reno reports are accurate, the pickup driver likely is responsible for causing this accident.  However, the incident is still under investigation by the  Nevada Highway Patrol.
