Nebraska patrol blames blown tire in fatal crash (Update)

Authorities say a blown tire led to a
rollover crash on Interstate 80 that killed two people in south-central Nebraska.  The Nebraska State Patrol says the accident occurred a little after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday near Overton. The patrol says an eastbound car went out of control after a rear tire blew out. The car rolled twice in the median and landed in the westbound lanes.  The driver and one passenger were killed. North Platte television station KNOP says they were identified as 43-year-old Darren Willis and 39-year-old Trena Talley.  The patrol says Willis was driving and that Willis and Talley lived in Lexington.  Another passenger, 41-year-old Michelle Fellezs, of Lexington, was sent to a Kearney hospital for treatment.
