CHADRON, Neb. (AP) — A Gering woman has died in a crash near the entrance of Chadron State Park in western Nebraska.

The Dawes County Attorney’s said on Friday that 55-year-old Karis Amateis died in the noon Thursday crash on Highway 385 near the park entrance.

A preliminary investigation indicates that Amateis crossed the center line and hit a northbound semi-truck driven by a 60-year-old Missouri man.

Investigators say Amateis was killed instantly. The truck driver was not injured.
