COZAD, Neb. (AP) — A man has died in a rollover crash after hitting a deer near Cozad.

The crash happened just before 7:30 a.m. Friday a mile west of Cozad.

Deb Collins with the Nebraska State Patrol says the man’s Jeep Wrangler was eastbound when it hit the deer. Collins says the driver overcorrected, sending the Jeep into a guardrail and through a fence before coming to rest in the south ditch.

The driver was the only occupant and was thrown from the Jeep in the crash.

The patrol has not released the name of the driver pending notification of his family.
