(KLZA)--A Kansas woman is dead, killed Thursday evening in a single vehicle crash in Richardson County, Nebraska.
Nebraska State Patrol spokesman Cody Thomas identified the victim as 46-year-old Stephanie Ziegler, of Overbrook.
He said she was thrown from the vehicle when the driver lost control and crashed into a guardrail. Ziegler was pronounced dead at the scene.
Thomas identified the driver as 50-year-old Mark Ziegler, who required hospitalized treatment as a result of the crash. "The driver of the car was taken to Nemaha County Hospital and then flown to Bryan West Hospital, in Lincoln, for treatment of injuries,” Thomas said.
Thomas said the wreck remains under investigation by the Nebraska State Patrol. "We're aware that there was some weather in the area shortly before this accident, so all sorts of factors are being investigated to see what caused the accident,” Thomas told MSC News. “I can say that we do not believe that seatbelts were in use in the accident."
The fatal wreck happened shortly before 5:30 Thursday evening, about four miles south of Dawson.
