BROADWATER, Neb. (AP) _ Authorities say a 14-year-old boy has died in a rollover crash in western Nebraska's Panhandle.
The Nebraska State Patrol says Dean Colleado of Broadwater was driving south on a county road when he lost control of the truck around 6:15 Sunday evening.
The patrol says Colleado was thrown from the truck, which rolled 2 1/2 times on the road about two miles west of Broadwater.
Colleado was not wearing a seat belt or other restraint.
The patrol says Colleado and two 15-year-old boys in the truck with him were taken to a hospital in Bridgeport, where Colleado died.
The patrol says the other boys' injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.
Colleado was an incoming freashman at Leyton High School.
