Las Vegas NowContractor Killed on Range Near Tonopah Identified
Air Force officials have identified a second contractor killed in a rollover accident on the Nevada Test and Training Range as 34-year-old Sean Ryan of Las Vegas.
Officials say Ryan was killed Tuesday along with 55-year-old Curtis Fowler of Tonopah, Nev., when a fuel truck they were driving rolled near Tonopah Air Field. The field is about 125 miles northeast of Nellis Air Force Base.
Authorities waited to release Ryan's name until his next of kin were notified.
Officials say Ryan and Fowler worked for Trend Western Technical Corporation, a subcontractor used by the base for range support services.
