Here are the top three stories today in Reno:

1. The Reno man killed in a crash on I-80 east of Sparks back in October has been identified. 28-year-old Reno resident Stephan Adams was struck in his vehicle by a van trying to pass him. The cars collided, and Adams' vehicle spun out through the unprotected median before it was hit by a Hyundai Sonata. Adams was pronounced dead at the scene. (KRNV)
2. The Reno Police Department is offering a $1,500 reward in connection with a hit-and-run on Stead Boulevard. According to officials, an elderly man was hit at 3:30 a.m. south of Lear Boulevard.
