2 killed in highway collision near Nebraska City

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a woman and a teenager died in a highway collision near Nebraska City in southeast Nebraska.

Station KNCY reports the two died Sunday night on U.S. Highway 75 when a sport utility vehicle and a pickup truck collided. Authorities identified the two as 32-year-old Rachel Curry and 15- or 16-year-old Chloe Curry.

It’s unclear how or whether they were related to each and the pickup driver, 39-year-old Michael Curry, of Auburn. He was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital in Nebraska City. The Otoe County attorney didn’t immediately return a call Monday from The Associated Press.

Authorities say the SUV driver was later found in Falls City. The driver was taken into custody and treated for injuries. His or her name hasn’t been released.
