(AP) — Authorities say three people died and six were injured when a sport utility vehicle left the road and rolled in northeast Nebraska.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office says the crash happened about 7 a.m. Monday on Highway 81, a couple miles south of the junction with Highway 20.

A northbound Ford Excursion left the highway and went into a ditch. It then rolled several times.

All nine occupants were ejected from the vehicle, killing three of them. The six survivors were taken to a hospital in Norfolk.

All of those involved were males. Authorities aren’t releasing their names or ages until relatives can be notified.
