NORTH BEND, Neb. (AP) — Dodge County authorities say a 19-year-old car driver has been killed in a collision with a pickup.
The accident was reported a little after 1:30 p.m. Sunday on U.S. Highway 30, about two miles west of North Bend. The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Monday that the westbound car crossed into oncoming traffic and rammed into the eastbound pickup.
The car driver died at the scene. The Sheriff’s Office identified him as Miguel Manriquez, of Schuyler. The pickup driver was flown to an Omaha hospital for treatment and was identified as Laurel Rieck, of Omaha.
The Sheriff’s Office suspects Manriquez had been drinking alcohol.
