WINNEUCCA — A local woman was killed today (Tuesday, Sept. 4) on  Interstate 80 after her vehicle left the roadway, traveled down a steep  embankment, then overturned. The accident occurred near milemarker  181, just five miles east of the primary Winnemucca exit. The woman was identified as Jenette Gleason, 59, of Winnemucca. According to Sgt. Greg Johnson, of the Nevada Highway Patrol, Gleason  was reported as an overdue traveler by her husband earlier in the morning  after she failed to return home on time from a trip to Idaho. A passing  commercial vehicle spotted Gleason's vehicle at the bottom of the  embankment at about 9:45 a.m. Johnson said from the preliminary investigation it appeared the vehicle  was traveling westbound when it drifted off the south road edge, near the  median, at which time the driver may have over-corrected to the right,  regained the roadway, traveled broadside across both travel lanes,  then left the roadway to the right side (north side). He added the  vehicle traveled all the way to the bottom of the embankment before  overturning at the bottom. The accident remains under investigation.  From http://www.silverpinyon.com Sept 4 2012
