A Carson City woman was killed and three others injured in an early morning crash on Highway 50 East in Mark Twain on Friday.

Andrew Mitchel Liljenquist, 23, of Carson City, was westbound in a Honda sedan 10 miles east of Dayton when his vehicle swerved to the right, according to Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Mike Edgell.

Edgell said the Honda then swerved back to the left and turned broadside, crossing the center line and into the path of an eastbound Ford Ranger pickup driven by Charles Wohosky, 69, of Carson City.

Liljenquist's girlfriend, Rayna Donoho-King, 21, of Carson City, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Liljenquist was taken by helicopter to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno.

Wohosky and his passenger Janice Wiley, 56, of Carson City, were each taken to Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center by ground ambulance.

Edgell said the preliminary investigation indicates alcohol may have been a factor in this crash.

The crash remains under investigation.

Anyone with additional information, is encouraged to call Trooper Eric Gallagher at (775) 689-4661 regarding case No. NHP 201103180157.
