A single-vehicle crash Tuesday morning backed up traffic on US50 at Zephyr Cove for almost an hour.

At 8:30 a.m., emergency crews responded to the rollover which took place in the westbound lanes of the highway.

The Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) says ice is to blame for the crash. Lanes were closed until the crash scene could be cleared.
