Difficult conditions: Chains required on most roads at Tahoe
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — The snow is creating difficult driving conditions at Lake Tahoe.
A non-injury three vehicle crash happened Monday morning at about 9 a.m. near Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe on State Route 431.
The Nevada Highway Patrol said one vehicle struck the road barrier, crossed the center line and struck another vehicle head-on. A third vehicle going too fast for the conditions struck one of the first two vehicles.
