Kan. man avoids serious injury after fatal crash in Nebraska

SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a Wyoming man died after his car collided with tanker truck on Interstate 80 in western Nebraska.

The crash occurred around 3 p.m. Tuesday, about 7 miles west of Sidney. The Nebraska State Patrol says 20-year-old Chance Seivley of Cheyenne, Wyoming, was headed west when his car ran off his lane and onto rumble strips. The patrol says Seivley overcorrected and crossed the median, striking the eastbound tanker truck driven by Monte Larson, 57, Salina.

Seivley was pronounced dead at the scene.  Larson suffered only minor injuries, according to the Nebraska State Patrol.
