Bob Herbert, ex-Harry Reid aide, died in Porsche crash in California

Bob Herbert, a longtime aide to former U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, died Friday in a single-car crash in California, the California Highway Patrol said.

Herbert, also a major general in the Nevada Army National Guard, was driving a Porsche westbound on Nipton Road, east of Ivanpah Road, in unincorporated San Bernardino County near the Nevada border when the crash occurred, the highway patrol said.

“While traveling at a high rate of speed, the driver lost control and the Porsche traveled into the open desert to the north,” a news release said. “The Porsche became airborne, overturned multiple times, and came to rest within the open desert north of Nipton Road.”

Impairment was not suspected, the highway patrol said. The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
