Three People Die in Massive Spring Storm System

(From UPI)

Three deaths are blamed on a weekend storm system that brought blizzards, tornadoes, freezing rain and high winds that wreaked havoc on much of the nation.

In Nebraska, one person died and more than 100 people were rescued after a blizzard hit. The Nebraska State Patrol reported that Rollo Ward, 61, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, was pronounced dead at the scene after losing control of his semi tractor-trailer, which slid into the median and a stranded semi-truck on Interstate 80 in western Nebraska on Friday.

More than 100 motorists were stranded amid blowing snowfall, low visibility, and slick roads. Troopers in collaboration with the Cheyenne County Sheriff’s Office, the Nebraska Department of Transportation, Cheyenne County Emergency Management and other workers and snow plows rescued the stranded individuals and vehicles.
