The driver of the Fusion, 56-year-old George Winchester of Cook, Nebraska was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Expedition, 30-year-old Rachelle Ellston, of Humboldt was transported by ambulance to the Nemaha County Hospital in Auburn and then transported to Bryan Health Center West in Lincoln. Two children in car seats in the rear of the Expedition were uninjured.
Highway 75 was closed for approximately five hours.
