One person was taken into custody and another to the hospital after a rear-end hit and run at Highway 395 and Stephanie Way on Monday afternoon. The collision was reported around 2:20 p.m. and involved a black Escalade. Witnesses were able to provide authorities with the license plate and description of the Esclade's driver, which resulted in Nevada Highway Patrol troopers and Douglas deputies responding to a Saratoga Springs home. The driver was taken into custody for suspicion of driving under the influence. The person's name was not available as of publication. This was the second Douglas County collision in two days in which impairment was suspected. Highway 50 was closed for nearly five hours after a three-vehicle collision resulted in a death near Glenbrook. No detailed information has been released by the Nevada Highway Patrol as yet, which said one of the drivers may have been impaired. The deceased driver was dead at the scene.
