ELKO " The Nevada Highway Patrol says two Elko brothers were killed when one of them lost control of their vehicle on a rural highway while trying to pass another vehicle in a no-passing zone.

The patrol says 18-year-old Daniel Uribe was driving south on the Mountain City Highway and was passing another car on a curve Friday night when he lost control of his 1995 Honda Civic.

The car left the pavement and overturned.

Twenty-two year old Rolando Uribe was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the front passenger seat.

Authorities say the driver was wearing a seat belt but suffered major injuries and later died at a hospital.
