Clouds cross the sky above southern Douglas County on Thursday afternoon.
Genoa, Nev. — A child received serious injuries after being hit by a car while crossing Highway 50 in Round Hill around 5:40 p.m. Thursday. Tahoe-Douglas Fire Marshal Eric Guevin said a family on vacation crossed the highway to go to the Safeway. They didn’t use the crosswalk on their way back. The driver was spotted them in the dark, but couldn’t stop in time to keep from striking the 5-year-old.
Around the same time, a 2-year-old child in the North Valley reportedly pulled a box down and was knocked unconscious. Both children were helicoptered for treatment.
A plan to establish an assessment district to reimburse a Lake Tahoe homeowner for fire improvements was rejected by enough neighbors to prevent its formation. The county is going back to the negotiating table to see what can be done.
