Nebraska authorities say crash victim was from Colorado

BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska authorities say the woman killed in a second accident after her car struck a deer has been identified as a Colorado resident. Gage County authorities identified the woman as 59-year-old Bonnie Goings, of Colorado Springs. The impact knocked Goings' vehicle into a roadside ditch, trapping her beneath it. The Sheriff's Office says Goings was driving east when her vehicle struck the deer. The release says Goings had left her vehicle but was standing near it when it was struck by a westbound car.
