CENTRAL CITY, Neb. (AP) â Authorities have confirmed the names of two 17-year-old girls who were killed in a Merrick County crash.
Grand Island Senior High School communications coordinator Jack Sheard said Cheyenna Urbauer, of Grand Island, and Shania Rivera, formerly of Grand Island, died in the accident Saturday. Sheard says Urbauer was a senior at the school and says Rivera attended the school before moving and transferring.
Authorities say the crash happened just before 2 a.m. Investigators think the car was eastbound when it ran off the rural roadway. The driver overcorrected, causing the car to roll several times before landing in a roadside ditch.
