PIERCE, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a northeastern Nebraska woman was killed earlier this week when a car she was in collided with a semitrailer.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that the crash happened Tuesday night on U.S. Highway 81 near Pierce.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office says 36-year-old Cassandra Lacost, of Pierce, was a passenger in a car driven by a 51-year-old Pierce man that crashed into the rear of a semitrailer that had pulled out onto the highway from a convenience store.
Investigators say the car then went off the road and rolled. Lacost was taken to a Norfolk hospital, where she died.
Neither the car's driver nor the truck driver were reported injured in the crash.
