(KLZA)-- An Auburn man died Saturday afternoon from injuries suffered in a two-vehicle wreck on U.S. Highway 34/75 south of Plattsmouth in Cass County, Nebraska.

Cass County Sheriff Robert Sorenson said in a release that 30-year-old Zach Unruh was operating a 2002 Harley-Davidson motorcycle when 55-year-old Shelly Hayes of Omaha, who was southbound in a GMC Terrain, attempted to turn east into a driveway and Unruh's motorcycle struck the front driver's side corner of Hayes' vehicle.

Unruh was ejected, landing in the east ditch. He was pronounced dead at the scene. None of the occupants of the Hayes' vehicle were injured.

Unruh was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.

Highway 34/75 was shut down for approximately three-and-a-half hours following the wreck. Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor in the crash.

The report indicates an investigation into the wreck is ongoing and charges are pending.
