53-year-old Kenny Lee was killed Friday morning when the minivan he was driving veered into oncoming traffic and was struck by a pickup truck on U.S. 93 at mile marker 24 between Ely and West Wendover.

Nevada Highway Patrol said that Lee was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from his vehicle. He died at the scene.

The other driver suffered minor injuries
