NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-Authorities said a Hershey man was killed in an automobile crash on Sunday.

The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said the crash happened at around 1:20 p.m. near mile marker 169 on U.S. Highway 30, in between Hershey and North Platte.

Authorities said a sedan driven by Bruce Miller, 79, of Hershey, was westbound and crossed into the eastbound lane and collided with a pickup driven by Travis Doss, 26, of Idaho.

Miller was pronounced dead at the scene, while Doss was transported to Great Plains Health with non-life-threatening injuries.

Accident reconstructionists were called to work the accident and concluded that Miller likely suffered a medical incident at the time of the crash.

Drugs and alcohol were not a factor and seat belts were in use.
