Death at Sand Mountain on Halloween
On Oct. 31 at approximately 12:46 a.m. the Churchill County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a two-vehicle rollover accident with injuries on Sand Mountain. The responding deputy was advised upon his arrival at the scene that the operator of one of the vehicles was deceased.

Initial investigation revealed that a quad and a side-by-side UTV had been involved in a collision causing a rollover near the top of a dune. The deceased was identified as the quad operator, Juan Velazquez Vargas, 32, of San Jose, Calif. The driver of the UTV is cooperating with the investigators.
