(KLZA)-- A Missouri man died from injuries suffered in a two-vehicle crash Thursday afternoon in Nemaha County, Nebraska.
The Nemaha County Sheriff's Department reports the wreck occurred a mile-and-a-half east of Auburn on Highway 136 around 3:45.
The Sherifff's Office says an eastbound Ford F-350 pickup driven by 53-year-old LeRoy Forbes, of Falls City, was pulliing a trailer and slowed for slower moving traffic when the trailer was struck from behind by an eastbound Nissan van driven by 63-year-old David Paris, of Green Ridge, Missouri.
Both drivers were transported to the Nemaha County Hospital in Auburn where Paris died from injuries sustained in the crash. The report indicates Paris was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the wreck.
The wreck is being investigated by the Nemaha County Sheriff's Office.
Auburn Fire and Rescue and Peru Fire and Rescue responded to the scene.
