(LaPlatte, NE) – An eight-year old boy from Glenwood, Iowa, died in a crash that took place last week, in Nebraska. Investigators in Sarpy County, NE., on Monday, said Paxton Parker died in a three-vehicle crash that occurred at around 8-a.m., on June 29^th. A 9-year-old passenger and the vehicle’s driver survived, but suffered serious injuries.

Authorities say Elizabeth Sprunger, of Glenwood, was driving a 2009 Hyundai Sonata westbound east of LaPlatte, NE., on Highway 34, just west of Harlan Lewis Road. She lost control of the vehicle, which crossed into the eastbound lanes, and collided with an eastbound, 2015 Dodge Ram. Sprunger’s vehicle was then struck a second time by a semi-truck.

The drivers of the pickup and the semi-truck were not injured. The Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office said weather conditions at the time of the crash were “poor due to heavy rain in the area.”
