The Seward County Sheriff's Office said one person is dead after two semis collided on Interstate 80 in eastern Nebraska.
Authorities said the crash happened at around 3:15 a.m. on Sunday near mile marker 379.
A preliminary investigation showed that a semi was westbound when it struck the rear of a tractor-trailer that we disabled on the shoulder.
The collision caused the westbound semi to burst into flames, entrapping the driver.
Authorities said the driver of the westbound semi was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver and occupant of the disabled vehicle were transported to Seward Memorial Hospital, where there were treated and released.
The accident remains under investigation, and the deceased driver's name was not released.
