ARCHER — Authorities say a 22-year-old driver died after his car collided with a pickup in east-central Nebraska.
The crash occurred at about 7:10 a.m. Monday, about 5 miles northeast of Archer in rural Merrick County.
Authorities say Broedy "Bubba" Starkey was driving his car west on Nebraska 92 when it collided with the eastbound pickup driven by Mary Dugan of Greeley. The Merrick County Sheriff's Office says heavy fog was a factor in the crash.
Dugan was taken to Merrick Medical Center in Central City. Starkey was pronounced dead at the scene.
