sarpy-co.-sheriffSPRINGFIELD, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have released the name of a driver who died under his wrecked pickup after it crashed in Sarpy County.

The crash occurred about 5:40 p.m. Wednesday on Nebraska Highway 50, just north of Springfield. The Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office says the southbound pickup began to slide after the driver hit the brakes. The out-of-control truck crossed the median and the northbound lanes into a ditch, ejecting the driver and pinning him. The truck soon caught fire.

The Sheriff’s Office identified the man as 44-year-old Aaron Scholting, who lived in Louisville (LOO’-iss-vihl).
