TABLE ROCK, Neb. (AP) — Officials say a father died and his three young children and dog were thrown from an SUV during a single-vehicle crash in northeastern Nebraska.

Dennis Schlund, of Humboldt, lost control of his vehicle sometime Thursday evening. The SUV rolled several times before stopping in a field, where it was discovered near Table Rock on Friday morning.

Pawnee County Attorney Jennifer Stehlik Ladman says Schlund was pronounced dead at the scene. His children, ages 7, 5 and 3, were flown to a nearby hospital. Their identities and conditions have not been released.

The dog, also injured in the crash, was taken to a Tecumseh animal shelter.

Authorities believe drug use was a factor in the crash. Stehlik Ladman says a toxicology test will be conducted.
