ANSELMO, NEB (WTVB) – A Bronson native lost his life last Friday morning in a multi-vehicle crash near Anselmo, Nebraska.
The Custer County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release that the accident happened on Highway 2 about a mile-and-a-half southeast of Anselmo.
It took the life of 57-year-old Rick Stauffer who was living in Willis, Texas.
Investigators say the crash took place when a semi pulling a livestock trailer struck the left rear of a tractor, causing the semi to skid across the road and tip over onto the passenger side.
The semi came to rest in a ditch with the trailer on the highway.
Stauffer’s Ford pickup struck the trailer as he was unable to avoid it. He was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Funeral arrangements are pending. There were no passengers in any of the vehicles.
A number of the cattle in the semi trailer died as a result of the crash.
Funeral arrangements are pending at Dutcher Funeral Home, Bronson.
