Two-vehicle accident on Highway 6 claims one life
    IMPERIAL REPUBLICAN, July 4 — Authorities responded to a report of a two-vehicle accident west of Imperial, Nebraska, around 3:26 p.m. on Monday.
    When authorities arrived, they found a semi-truck that was fully engulfed in flames and a pickup turned on its side. Further investigation showed that a Ford pickup, driven by 49-year-old Clayton Giesbrecht of Madrid, Nebraska, had been traveling westbound on Highway 6 when his vehicle was struck head-on by an eastbound semi.
    The semi, owned by Stewart Powell Trucking out of Yuma was driven by 41-year-old Brad Lee Kosinski of Eckley. Kosinski’s semi crossed the center line and struck the front driver’s side of Giesbrecht’s vehicle.
    The semi was pulling an empty tank, and upon collision, the tractor’s fuel tank  caught fire. Kosinski escaped the burning cab, while Giesbrecht was trapped inside the pickup that was lying on its side.
    Using their jaws equipment, Imperial Volunteer Fire Department cut Giesbrecht from his pickup, and he was transported to the Chase County Community Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
