ANSLEY, Neb. (AP) –Authorities say a South Dakota man was fatally injured in a collision between a semitrailer and a pickup truck in central Nebraska.
The accident occurred around 11:15 a.m. Tuesday at a Custer County road intersection with U.S. Highway 183, about 12 miles south of Ansley.
A Nebraska State Patrol report says the eastbound semi driven by 66-year-old David Skeels, of Ansley, didn’t halt at a stop sign and collided on the highway with the southbound pickup being driven by 43-year-old Wyatt Torticill, of Baltic, South Dakota.
The pickup passenger was killed. The patrol identified him as 23-year-old Brandon Massmann, who lived in Brandon, South Dakota. The patrol says Torticill was taken to a Kearney hospital. The patrol report didn’t list any injuries for Skeels.
