Fairbury Man Dies in Single-Vehicle Crash

fatal-accident(AP) — A 53-year-old Fairbury man whose wife was killed earlier this year in a crash has himself died in a single-vehicle crash just a couple of miles from his home.

Anthony DeBourge was driving a pickup westbound on Highway 8 Friday night when he went off the road and rolled. DeBourge, who was thrown from the truck, was flown to a Lincoln hospital, where he died.

In January, DeBourge’s wife, 54-year-old Suzan DeBourge, died when her vehicle slide on an icy U.S. Highway 136 in Gage County and was hit by a pickup, killing her.
