COZAD, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a 59-year-old woman has been killed in a Dawson County collision.
The Dawson County Sheriff’s Office says the accident was reported just after 7:35 p.m. Monday about nine miles south of Cozad on Nebraska Highway 21. The office says a northbound sport utility vehicle being driven by 64-year-old Monte Robertson was struck by a westbound car driven by 18-year-old Hailey Boutin, of Eustis.
The Sheriff’s Office says a woman in the SUV was pronounced dead at the scene. She was identified as Mary Robertson, of rural Cozad. The Sheriff’s Office couldn’t say Tuesday how or whether she was related to the driver, Monte Robertson.
The office says Monte Robertson was taken to a Kearney hospital, and Boutin was taken to Cozad Community Hospital.
