This section is between Reno and Sacramento on Highway 80. There are a few steep downhill sections (especially in the Westbound direction) that the loss of brakes could cause you to overspeed and then loose control. Those of you who have driven it a few times know where they are. Comments say it was a double fatality in the truck.
