LINCOLN (AP) — The Nebraska State Patrol identified a 38-year-old semitrailer driver from Manitoba, Canada, as the person killed in a three-vehicle crash on a southeast Nebraska highway.
Vladymyr Kuziv died at the scene of Thursday's crash near Bruning, the patrol said.
A propane tanker was eastbound on state Highway 4 when it tried to cross the northbound lane of U.S. Highway 81. Kuziv was southbound and struck the tanker. A northbound car then hit his semitrailer.
The woman in the car, 41-year-old Kimberly Wills of St. Edward, has been hospitalized with serious injuries. The driver of the tanker, 29-year-old Joel Voss of Bruning, was not injured.
Troopers reported heavy fog and low visibility in the area at the time of the crash. An investigation continues.
