BLAIR, Neb. — A Springdale man has died in a two-vehicle crash in eastern Nebraska, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

The crash happened just before noon Tuesday on U.S. Highway 75 south of Blair, the Omaha World-Herald reported. The sheriff's office said it was caused when a pickup truck driven by a 37-year-old Bellevue man crossed the highway's center line and hit a sport utility vehicle head-on.

The driver of the SUV — Shawn Kimbrough, 35, of Springdale, Arkansas — was killed, officials said. Passersby pulled the other driver from his burning pickup, and he was treated at an Omaha hospital, investigators said.

The crash remains under investigation.
