Dodge County authorities say an 18 year old driver from Fremont was killed and a second driver was injured in a crash near Fremont Wednesday evening.
Investigators say it happened around 6:30 near County Road 28 between Highway 30 and Military Avenue, about three and a half miles east of Fremont.
The sheriff's department says a Dodge Ram pickup driven by 59 year old Becky Crone of Fremont, was traveling north on County Road 28 when she collided with another Dodge Ram, which was driven southbound by 18 year old Jason Bechtel of Fremont.
The initial investigation indicates dust from other vehicle traffic restricted Crone's ability to see and led to the crash.
Betchel, who was wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene. Crone was taken to the Fremont hospital and will survive. Investigators say she was not wearing a seat belt.
