A green pickup rolled over after trying to avoid stopped vehicles on Highway 395 during the Thursday evening commute.
It was a busy 24 hours for first responders starting with a house fire Wednesday night at a Foothill home.
The Taylor Creek house fire was reported around 9:40 p.m. Wednesday. When East Fork firefighters arrived, they found fire both in and out of the home.
It took nearly 50 minutes for the 19 firefighters on scene to extinguish the blaze.
Battalion Chief Matt Kruse sought aid from surrounding agencies while East Fork fought the fire. A half-dozen emergency calls were handled with the help of Carson City, Tahoe-Douglas and Mono County firefighters.
A half-dozen East Fork Fire Logistics volunteers supported firefighters by bringing water to the scene, which does not have hydrants.
The building was unoccupied when the fire broke out and no one was injured. The cause is under investigation.
