One dead, another behind bars after a rollover crash in Minatare

MINATARE, Neb. (AP) — One man is dead and another is behind bars in a rollover crash near Minatare in western Nebraska.

The 21-year-old Taylor Magdaleno, of Gering, died in the late Friday night crash. Investigators say Magdaleno had been one of six men in a pickup that went off the road and rolled several times. Magdaleno died after being thrown from the truck.

The five others were taken to a Scottsbluff hospital for various injuries. Only one remained hospitalized Saturday, but his injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.

The 21-year-old driver of the truck was arrested on suspicion of a second offense of driving drunk and motor vehicle homicide.
