Authorities say SUV driver killed in collision with pickup

BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say one person died and another was injured in a collision just south of Beatrice in southeast Nebraska.

Firefighters, medics and deputies were sent to the intersection of U.S. Highway 77 and West Lilac Road a little before 2 p.m. Wednesday. Deputies say it’s unclear what happened, other than a northbound pickup truck on the highway collided with a sport utility vehicle that had been westbound on Lilac.

Authorities say the SUV driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The pickup driver was injured. Their names haven’t been released.
