One vehicle crash takes life on Saturday

CLATONIA, Neb. (AP) — A Beatrice man is dead following a one-vehicle crash five miles south of Clatonia in southeastern Nebraska.

Local media reports that 59-year-old Bruce Benash died in the early Saturday crash.

Gage County Sheriff Gus Gustafson says Benash was driving a pickup eastbound on a county road when he lost control, hit part of a bridge and rolled the truck. Benash was pronounced dead at the scene.

An autopsy has been ordered. Sheriff’s investigators say Benash was not wearing a seat belt.
