Authorities ID two men killed in Interstate 11 crash

Two men killed Tuesday morning in a fiery head-on crash on the newly opened Interstate 11 were identified as Milford, Ohio, residents, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.

Christopher Levo, 63, who was driving a Buick Encore, died at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, the patrol said. His passenger, Steve Mindy, 64, died at the scene.

The crash was reported on northbound I-11 near U.S. 93, west of Hoover Dam, the patrol said.

The Buick was traveling southbound in the wrong direction about 9:45 a.m., when it struck a pickup truck head-on, the patrol said. Both vehicles had steered toward a shoulder right before the impact, the patrol said.

Levo and Mindy were pulled from the Buick before it caught fire, the patrol said. Two men in the pickup were hospitalized, but information on their medical condition was not provided.
