Cement Truck Driver Dies in Eastern Nebraska Crash

Authorities in eastern Nebraska say the driver of a cement-mixing truck has died in a two-vehicle crash at Gretna. The Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office says the crash happened Thursday before noon at the intersection of Highway 370 and Wickersham Boulevard. Investigators say a car driven by an 18-year-old Murdock man turned left in front of the cement truck, which hit the car.

The crash sent the truck into a ditch, where it overturned, killing its driver, 58-year-old Gregory Brennan of Omaha. The driver of the car and his 68-year-old grandmother, who was his passenger, were taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries.
