A driver sustained minor injuries in a crash north of Zephyr Cove near Skyland Monday afternoon.
Just before 4:00 p.m., an unidentified adult woman traveling in a southwesterly direction drove her car off Highway 50 and into a tree where the car subsequently rolled over.
The woman suffered minor injuries and refused medical treatment, according to Trooper Matt McLaughlin of the Nevada Highway Patrol. He said she got a ride home as her car is undriveable.
Highway 50 was backed up with traffic for about an hour as emergency crews worked at the scene.
Drugs or alcohol do not appear to be the cause of the crash.
