79 YO Nebraska Man Killed in ATV Accident

fatal-accident(AP) — Authorities say a 79-year-old driver has died in a collision of two all-terrain vehicles on a rural road in south-central Nebraska.

Hamilton County Attorney Mike Powell says the accident occurred a little after 11 a.m. Saturday about six miles southeast of Giltner.

Powell says Ivan Stiegemeier’s ATV crossed the center line on a blind curve and rammed into an oncoming ATV driven by 58-year-old Gordon Klein, of Giltner.

Powell says Stiegemeier, of Harvard, died at the scene. Klein was taken to a hospital.
