Nebraska Man Killed, 4 Others Injured in Crash

stanton-county-sheriffPILGER, Neb. (AP) — A Battle Creek man is dead and four others injured following a crash south of Pilger in northeastern Nebraska.

Stanton County Sheriff Mike Unger said 25-year old Marcus Kamrath died in the crash, which happened about 7 p.m. Friday.

Unger says Kamrath was a passenger in a vehicle driven by 25-year Trey Finkral, also of Battle Creek. Unger says Finkral failed to stop at a stop sign and drove into the path of a northbound vehicle driven by 18-year old Joseph Burrows, of Wayne.

Kamrath, who was trapped in the wreckage, was pronounced dead at a Norfolk hospital. Two other passengers also were taken to the hospital.

Finkral was cited on suspicion of driving drunk, and Unger says additional charges could be pending.
