CAIRO, Neb. (AP) - Authorities have identified a man killed in a crash with a semitrailer earlier this week in south-central Nebraska.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports (https://bit.ly/1qnSjFl ) that 80-year-old Arthur Klinkacek, of Ravenna, died in the Thursday morning crash.

The accident happened just after 8:30 a.m. nearly three miles south of Cairo at the intersection of West Airport Road and Nebraska Highway 11.

The Hall County Sheriff’s Office says Klinkacek collided with the semitrailer after failing to stop at a stop sign and died at the scene.

The semi overturned, spilling some of the corn mash it was hauling. The semi’s driver suffered only minor injuries.
