Bellevue Teen Killed in Interstate 80 Crash Near Aurora

fatal-accidentAURORA, Neb. (AP) — A 16-year-old Bellevue girl has died in a rollover crash on Interstate 80 near Aurora in east-central Nebraska.

Hamilton County Attorney Mike Powell said Callie Yzaguirre was driving a car westbound on I-80 at about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday two miles east of Aurora.

Powell says a witness reported that the car drifted onto the median and that the driver overcorrected, causing the vehicle to roll into the eastbound lanes.

Yzaguirre died at the scene. A 34-year-old woman who was a passenger in the car was injured. She was taken to Memorial Hospital in Aurora and later released.

Powell said both the driver and passenger were wearing seat belts.
