A Minden man killed in a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 395 near Double Spring Flat early on May 8 was identified on Monday.

Jason Clarkson, 43, was northbound on the highway in a 2001 Ford Explorer when he crossed the centerline and left the roadway around 2:30 a.m.

The Explorer struck a barbed wire fence, and several trees and bushes before overturning.

According to the Nevada State Police, Clarkson was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle.

Speed may be a factor, investigators said.
