GRETNA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a man from southwest Iowa died after his car collided with another in eastern Nebraska’s Sarpy County. The collision occurred a little before 5:30 p.m. Friday on U.S. Highway 6 on the south side of Gretna. The Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office says an eastbound car driven by 46-year-old Brian Bullington, of Red Oak, crossed the center line and struck an oncoming car being driven by 28-year-old Elizabeth Beckenhauer, of Ashland.

Beckenhauer was taken to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. The sheriff’s office says Bullington was flown to Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, where he later died.
