ASHLAND, Neb. (AP) — A 25-year-old man has died after a car crash near Mahoney State Park in Cass County.
According to Cass County Sheriff William Brueggemann, Michael Briones was driving a straight truck a mile west of the state park Thursday morning when he crossed the center line and sideswiped a pickup truck pulling a trailer. Briones was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
Brueggemann says five members of a construction crew riding in the pickup suffered minor injuries.
The incident is being investigated by the Cass County Sheriff’s Office and the Nebraska State Patrol.
