A 33-year-old Grand Island man died in a single-vehicle accident early Saturday in Merrick County.
Shaun L. Wilcox failed to navigate a curve near Sixth and Ormsby roads in rural Archer. Emergency crews were sent to the area shortly before 4 a.m. after the report of a power outage.
The Merrick County Sheriff's Office says Wilcox, driving a 2007 Nissan Sentra, was heading west on Ormsby Road when he approached a curve in the roadway. The vehicle failed to navigate the curve and left the roadway, striking a power pole. Wilcox, the car's lone occupant, was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene.
He was not wearing a seat belt. Neither alcohol nor drugs were believed to be a factor in the accident.
