OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Two people are dead following a traffic accident Friday evening involving a commercial truck hauling a dumpster in Nebraska.

A preliminary investigation found that the commercial truck driven 40-year-old Christopher Anderson, a Douglas County resident, didn't make a curve and struck a Honda Pilot, forcing it into a ditch, according to a news release from the Douglas County sheriff's office.

The truck then flipped and rolled, ejecting Anderson. He was died at the scene.

The driver of the Honda, 48-year-old Holly A. Koenigsfield of Sarpy County, was critically injured and flown to a hospital. Her 17-year-old passenger, Ella C. Koenigsfeld, died at the scene.
