The Nebraska State Patrol says a one-vehicle accident early Sunday morning on Hwy 26 between Mitchell and Morrill claimed the life of a Morril man.
NSP spokesman Cody Thomas says 21-year-old Hunter Lemley was eastbound when his pickup left the highway near County Road 12 around 3:00 am and hit a culvert.
Lemley was pronounced dead at the scene.
Thomas says the accident remains under investigation with no cause released at this time.
