A mountain lion was struck by a vehicle on June 5 outside of Alliance.
"A young male mountain lion was killed by a vehicle late Saturday evening near Alliance," Nebraska Game and Parks Commission Furbearer/Carnivore Program Manager Sam Wilson said.
The accident happened a few miles west of Alliance on Otoe Road.
"It was a dispersing aged male that was not marked as part of our research project on mountain lions in the region," Wilson said.
The driver of the vehicle was not injured.
