One Man Dies, One Arrested in Grand Island Crash

fatal-accident(AP) — A 29-year-old man has died and another man was arrested after a crash south of Grand Island.

The Hall County Sheriff’s Department says the crash happened about 2 p.m. Monday on Highway 281 when 30-year-old Hermino Alamilla lost control of his car. The car rolled several times before coming to rest.

The car was then hit by a pickup driven by 26-year-old Megan Brodrick, of Grand Island. She wasn’t hurt.

A passenger in the car died after being ejected during the crash. The sheriff’s department says the man was from Grand Island but didn’t immediately release his name.

Another passenger, 23-year-old Jose Coronado, wasn’t injured.

Alamilla was taken to a hospital for non-life threatening injures. He was then charged with driving under the influence and felony motor vehicle homicide.
