LEXINGTON, Neb. (AP) – Authorities have identified the victims
of an accident near North Platte that killed two people.
Officials say 34-year-old Maria DaSilva and 26-year-old James
Doyle, both of Fort Collins, Co., died Friday on Interstate 80.
The Nebraska State Patrol says a pick-up truck driven by DaSilva
rolled several times into the opposite lanes of traffic and was
struck by a semi-trailer truck.
The driver of the semi truck, Nikola Nenadic (M), 30, Chicago, IL and a co-driver in the semi Daniejel Avramovic (M), Elmwood Park, IL were transported to Great Plains Medical Center in North Platte where they were treated and released.
Officials say fatigue was likely a factor in the crash.
