fatal-crashBEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — Authorities in southern Nebraska say a woman has died following a two-vehicle crash involving a deer.

Beatrice Fire and Rescue Captain Corey Lienemann says the crash was reported around 6:45 a.m. Sunday on U.S. Highway 136. A small compact car was disabled on the shoulder of the road when it was struck by a Buick vehicle.

Roger Harris, Gage County attorney and coroner, says the small compact car appears to have hit a deer before it was struck by the Buick vehicle.

The compact car was carrying a woman who was later pronounced dead. Additional information about any other people in the cars was not released.
