Fatal Sarpy County collision blamed on slick roadway

BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a car passenger died when the vehicle he was in slid into a Sarpy County intersection and was struck broadside by another car.

The accident was reported just before 7:15 a.m. Wednesday on 36th Street, near Bellevue city limits. Lt. Randy Furbee, of the Sarpy County Sheriff's Office, says the westbound car was unable to halt at a stop sign because of the slick pavement. It was struck on the passenger side by a southbound vehicle.

The passenger in the westbound car was pronounced dead at the scene. The westbound car's driver was taken to Nebraska Medical Center. The other car's driver was not injured. Their names haven't been released.
