A 19-year-old who died after a car accident over the weekend was identified Monday by the Clark County coroner's office as Anthony Ross of Las Vegas.

HENDERSON CRASH
Coroner's office IDs dead motorcyclist
A 39-year-old Henderson man who died last week after his motorcycle collided with a pickup was identified Monday by the Clark County coroner's office as Philip Rumbaoa.
Henderson police said Rumbaoa was riding his 2006 Suzuki east on American Pacific Drive approaching Crest Drive about 7:10 p.m. Friday as Charles Gresser, 44, was making a left turn in a 2006 Ford F-350 pickup onto American Pacific from Pacific Crest Drive.
Police said Gresser pulled into the path of Rumbaoa and the vehicles collided. Rumbaoa died at the scene. He was wearing a helmet.
Police are investigating the crash but said excessive speed was not considered to be a factor in it. HENDERSON BLAZE
Faulty wiring possible cause of house fire
A house fire Sunday caused $100,000 in damage, Henderson Fire Department officials said.
Faulty electrical wiring is believed to have caused the fire that started about 6:40 p.m. at 131 Serenade Court, near Arroyo Grande Boulevard and Wigwam Parkway, officials said.
The fire remained under investigation. No one was home when the blaze started.
4.2 TEMBLOR
Quakes still rumbling across Reno area
The Reno area continues to shake as another moderate earthquake struck the region.
The 4.2 magnitude earthquake was reported at 4:33 a.m. Monday and was followed by at least a dozen aftershocks, according to the University of Nevada, Reno, Seismology Laboratory. This was the latest in a two-month swarm of earthquakes that started in February.
Scientists say the events are unusual because they are getting stronger instead of weaker.
The strongest temblor so far occurred Friday when a quake of 4.7 magnitude dumped cans off shelves, knocked pictures off walls and pushed rocks off hillsides along the Sierra Nevada.
No injuries were reported.
OXBOW NATURE STUDY AREA
Reno nature park closed after fire
The Oxbow Nature Study Area in Reno has been closed until work crews clear hazardous debris left by a brush fire that charred more than half of the urban oasis, officials said Monday.
The fire started in the western area of the park. One Union Pacific Railroad train was stopped temporarily while crews extinguished fires along the railroad right of way. No injuries were reported during the fire. Nearby homes were spared from flames.
Oxbow is owned by the city of Reno and the Nevada Department of Wildlife. Officials said 16 to 18 acres of the 22-acre park along the Truckee River burned.
