We consider a hydrodynamic-type system of balance equations which is closed by the dynamic equation of state taking into account the effects of spatial nonlocality. Symmetry and local conservation laws of this system are studied. A system of ODEs being obtained via the group theory reduction of the initial system of PDEs is investigated. The reduced system is shown to possess a family of the homoclinic solutions. Depending on the values of the parameters, the homoclinic solutions describe the solitary waves of compression or rarefication. The solutions corresponding to the wave of compression are shown to be unstable. More likely, the waves of rarefication are stable. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the solitary waves of rarefication moving toward each other maintain their shape after the interaction.
