A Colorado man is dead following a Saturday afternoon crash near North Platte.

According to the Nebraska State Patrol, troopers were called to a crash involving several vehicles at Mile Marker 175 on Interstate 80, about two miles west of North Platte.

It was determined that a Ford Explorer was traveling eastbound when the vehicle crossed the median and collided with a westbound Infiniti sedan.

Troopers say the Explorer then went airborne and collided with a semi pulling a fuel tanker.

The collision caused the tanker to rupture and spill fuel on the roadway.

The male driver of the Infiniti, identified as a man from Colorado, was pronounced dead at the scene.  At least two other people were transported to Great Plains Health.

The crash remains under investigation and the names of those involved were not released.

Interstate 80 was closed between North Platte and Hershey until just after 6:00 p.m.
