Patrol: California Man Dies in Western Nebraska Crash

state-patrol-logoSIDNEY, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska authorities say a 47-year-old California man has been killed in an Interstate 80 accident.

The Nebraska State Patrol says the accident occurred around 9:45 a.m. Sunday, about six miles east of Sidney in the Nebraska Panhandle. The patrol says Kenneth Berry, of Pomona, California, was driving west in a semitrailer when it crossed the median, went through the eastbound lanes, up an embankment and across a county road before coming to rest in a field.

Cheyenne County Attorney Paul Schaub (shahb) says Berry was ejected from the vehicle. He was flown to a Scottsbluff hospital and pronounced dead later.
