(KLZA)--A rural Brock man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and motor vehicle homicide following a Saturday evening wreck in Nemaha County, Nebraska that claimed the life of a Pawnee City man.
The Nemaha County Sheriff's Office says 26-year-old Travis Ries was killed in the wreck on U.S. 75 about two miles north of Auburn.
The Sheriff's Office says Ries was a passenger in a car driven by 25-year-old Heather Spurlin, of Pawnee City.
Investigators say Spurlin tried to pass a sport utility vehicle driven by 51-year-old Monty Eaton, which then turned left into her car.
Spurlin and Ries, who were not wearing seatbelts, were ejected.
Spurlin was flown to a Lincoln hospital. Ries was pronounced dead at the Nemaha County Hospital in Auburn.
Eaton was booked into the Nemaha County Jail in Auburn.
The Nebraska State Patrol is assisting in investigating the crash.
