1 Dead, 5 Injured in Crash Near Fullerton

fatal-accident(AP) — A Nebraska man died and five others were injured in a two-vehicle crash near Fullerton.

20-year-old Kyle Frenzen, of Silver Creek, was killed in the crash Friday night. Five others were taken to local hospitals.

Authorities say a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado pickup failed to yield to a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix at the uncontrolled intersection, near the Nance and Merrick county line. Two people were in the car, and four people, including Frenzen, were in the truck.

Authorities say Frenzen and five others involved in the crash were not wearing seat belts. The Nebraska State Patrol was investigating and trying to determine who drove the truck.

It was not immediately known whether authorities suspected alcohol or speed were contributing factors to the crash.
