2 Die in Car-Semi Collision Near Fremont

fatal-accidentFREMONT, Neb. (AP) — Two people have been killed in a collision between a car and semitrailer just north of Fremont.

The accident occurred just after 1 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of U.S. Highway 77 and Nebraska Highway 91. The names of the two victims aren’t being released until relatives are notified.

Dodge County Sheriff Steve Hespen says the truck driven by 51-year-old Byron Morrow, of Tekamah, was headed west on Nebraska 91 before turning south onto U.S. 77. That’s when the big rig was struck by the car.

Morrow was not injured. Both people in the car were pronounced dead at the scene.

The accident is being investigated.
