A Nebraska man was killed in a single-vehicle crash in Brown County, Kansas early Saturday morning.
The Kansas Highway Patrol crash report says Cole Bergen, 27, of Orleans, Nebraska, lost control of his pickup two miles east of Sabetha on 270th Street.
According to the crash report, Bergen was driving east on 270th Street about 1.2 miles east of U.S. Highway 75 shortly after midnight Saturday morning.
The truck crossed the roadway into the north ditch. Investigators say Bergen overcorrected, sending the vehicle back across the road where it rammed head on into a tree. The vehicle flipped onto it’s top and caught fire, trapping Bergen.
