LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A woman died Wednesday morning in a two-car crash on a snowy road south of Lincoln.

The crash happened about 7:45 a.m. when a northbound pickup truck driven by Jamie Bauman, 39, of Martell, went out of control on Highway 77, according to the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office. The pickup crossed the grass median and entered the southbound lanes, striking a sport utility vehicle driven by Cassidy Clement, 25, of Lincoln.

Bauman died at the crash site. Clement was taken to a Lincoln hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

They were the only occupants of the vehicles.

The sheriff's office said the highway was snow-covered and icy at the time of the crash.
