LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

According to the Nevada Highway Patrol, an unsafe lane change on I-15 at Silverado Ranch Boulevard Tuesday led to a deadly rollover.

Troopers said Naoki Furihata, 21, was driving a 1995 Toyota 4Runner northbound on I-15 when a Toyota Corolla changed lanes into Furihata's travel lane.

Furihata swerved to avoid the Corolla, overcorrected and caused his 4Runner to overturn.

Furihata and his passengers were taken to UMC for treatment. Furihata was pronounced dead on Wednesday.

Troopers said everyone involved was wearing a seatbelt and that drugs and alcohol are not suspected in the crash.
