Icy roadway blamed for western Nebraska crash death

ALLIANCE, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say an icy road led to the crash death of an Alliance woman in the Nebraska Panhandle.

The accident occurred around 11:30 a.m. Monday on U.S. Highway 385, about 11 miles (18 kilometers) north of Alliance.

The Nebraska State Patrol says 35-year-old Lisa Penaluna lost control of her northbound car and collided with a southbound semitrailer driven by Gary Chestnut, who lives in Kansas.

The patrol says Penaluna died of her injuries and says Chestnut suffered minor injuries.
