SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) — Authorities in southwestern Nebraska say a Sidney couple has died in a two-vehicle crash involving a semitrailer that left their 1-year-old baby hospitalized.
The Scottsbluff Star-Herald reports that the crash happened Friday in Cheyenne County when a small sport utility vehicle driven by Brian Lee Johnson, 51, ran a stop sign at a rural intersection and hit a trailer being pulled by a semi.
Cheyenne County Attorney Paul Schaub says Johnson and his wife, Catherine Noquera Johnson, 24, died in the crash.
First responders had to use equipment to remove the couple's baby from the wreckage.
The baby was first taken to a Sidney hospital, then flown to Children's Hospital in Aurora, Colorado.
Her medical conditional was not released.
