On January 12, 2018 at approximately 5:37 P.M., the Washoe County Sheriff's Office responded to a vehicle versus pedestrian accident at the intersection of Lakeshore Boulevard and Village Green in Incline Village.

A preliminary investigation indicates 78 year old Roza Mostova, of Berkley, California, was crossing northbound Village Boulevard in the marked crosswalk. Mostova was stuck by an SUV traveling westbound on Village Boulevard and sustained life threatening injuries. The driver of the SUV immediately called 911 and rendered aid to Mostova. Mostova was transported to RENOWN medical center via Care Flight and was pronounced deceased at the hospital.
