3 Colby residents die in car wreck
ELWOOD, Neb. - Three Colby residents were killed early Saturday on US283 when the pickup truck in which they were riding left the road and slammed into a ditch about 8 miles south of here.
Dead are Twila K. Brogan, 19, identified by the Nebraska State Patrol as the driver; Marlene F. Drullinger, 37, and Brenda Drullinger, 12, Marlene's daughter. Injured but in satisfactory condition later Saturday in a Cambridge, Neb., hospital were Richard Drullinger, 17, son of Mrs, Drullinger, and Lori Holm, 10, Colby, a friend of Brenda's. Young Drullinger suffered broken ribs; Lori suffered a broken arm.
The Drullinger pickup was headed north, according to lawmen, when the driver apparently lost control. The vehicle came to a rest on the west side of the highway against an embankment.
The dead were taken to an Arapahoe Neb., funeral home. Funeral arrangements are pending at the Harrison funeral home, Colby.
Elwood is about 50 miles north Norton, Kas.
