WINNEMUCCA —A 19-year-old man was seriously injured Wednesday morning after his vehicle left the road and overturned multiple times.  The accident occurred on Jungo Rd. 24 miles from the city limits.  The accident is being investigated by deputies from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office with assistance from the Nevada Highway Patrol.  According to Undersheriff Curtiss Kull, the driver was seatbelted and was not ejected.  Kull said investigators have determined the young man was on his way to work, and it does not appear as though alcohol was a factor in the accident. However, as accident investigators reconstruct the accident they will be looking to see whether or not speed was a factor.
