Good morning, Reno.

A car struck a pedestrian — then crashed into Eldorado Casino in downtown Reno on Thursday around 2:45 p.m. — and police said both the driver and the pedestrian received minor injuries while investigating a possible medical episode or mechanical issue.

On August 8, the EPA found that CEMEX Construction Materials discharged up to 13 million gallons per day of wastewater into the Truckee River on tribal land — the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe reported water quality concerns.

Yesterday, the Truckee River Flood Management Authority broke ground on the Wadsworth Pedestrian Bridge Mitigation Project near Virginia and Bridge Streets to address local flooding that had damaged nearby homes and structures—officials say the new higher and wider bridge will allow water to flow more smoothly with minimal disruption.
