Central Nebraska teen died days after being injured in crash

MILLER, Neb. (AP) — A 14-year-old central Nebraska boy died days after a crash last month that left him critically injured, authorities said.

Ely Dehart, 14, of Ansley, died two days after the Nov. 17 crash in rural Buffalo County, the Lincoln Journal Star reported. Sheriff’s investigators said the boy was driving a pickup truck east on a gravel road north of Miller when he lost control on the crest of a hill.

The truck ran off into a ditch and rolled, investigators said. Authorities said two other teens were also in the front cab of the truck and suffered injuries in the crash. Investigators said none of the teens was wearing a seat belt.
