BRULE, Neb. (AP) – A blown tire has been blamed for a crash that killed a Colorado woman who was headed to her son’s court appearance in Nebraska. The Nebraska State Patrol says 57-year old Janie Hackbart, of Julesburg, Colo., was eastbound on Interstate 80 Monday when the tire blew, sending her vehicle out of control onto the median about three miles west of Brule. The patrol says Hackbart died at the scene. Her two passengers were injured, including her 20-year-old daughter, Alisha. She was flown to a Denver hospital for treatment. The other passenger, 30-year-old Teresa Leonard, was taken to an Ogallala hospital. North Platte television station KNOP says the three were traveling to North Platte for a court appearance by Hackbart’s son, Dean Hackbart. He pleaded not guilty to sexually assaulting a child.
