A woman lost her life after a Friday night crash on Interstate 80 just west of Lincoln.
The Nebraska State Patrol says just before 8:00, an eastbound Chevrolet Trailblazer attempted to pass a semi. When the SUV crossed back from the left lane in to the right lane, it went into the ditch and struck a guardrail and a pillar. The vehicle eventually came to rest on its side.
The driver, 57 year old Ladonna Schmidt North Platte, was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. An adult passenger sustained non-life threatening injuries, and a child in the backseat was uninjured.
Investigators believe Schmidt was not wearing a seat belt. The crash is still under investigation.
