IMLAY, Nevada — A man from North Salt Lake was identified Wednesday as the driver killed in a deadly vehicle rollover in Nevada earlier this week.

On Monday around 4 a.m., Ricardo Espinoza, 38, of North Salt Lake, was driving a Toyota Highlander west on I-80 east of Imlay. Nevada Highway Patrol said it appears Espinoza traveled to the left, entering the center median before crossing back through the westbound lanes and overturning on the highway shoulder.

"Unfortunately, the driver was unrestrained and suffered fatal injuries as a result of the crash," Nevada Highway Patrol said.

Police are still investigating to figure out what caused Espinoza to veer sideways.
