MITCHELL — The Nebraska State Patrol said a 74-year-old Mitchell man died as the result of a crash on U.S. 26 on Wednesday.
Salvador Zambrano died at the scene of a one-vehicle rollover that occurred at about 12:15 p.m., State Patrol spokesman Cody Thomas said. The crash was 4 miles east of Mitchell.
Thomas said that Zambrano had been the passenger in a vehicle driven by Dora Zambrano, 66, of Mitchell. Dora Zambrano had been driving west in a Chevrolet Silverado when the truck went through the median and crossed into the eastbound lanes. She overcorrected and the vehicle rolled in the median.
Both occupants were ejected. Neither were wearing seat belts.
Dora Zambrano suffered serious injuries and was transported to Regional West Medical Center.
