(KLZA)--A rural Brock, Nebraska man has been charged in connection with a two-vehicle wreck last month that claimed the life of a Pawnee City man.
52-year-old Monty Eaton has been charged in Nemaha County Court with a felony count of manslaughter stemming from a February 3rd wreck north of Auburn that killed 26-year-old Travis Ries.
Bond has been set at $50,000 and a scheduling conference in the case has been set for March 13th.
The Nemaha County Sheriff’s Department says Ries was a passenger in a car driven by 25-year-old Heather Spurlin, of Pawnee City.
Investigators say Spurlin tried to pass a sport utility vehicle driven by Eaton when he turned left into her car.
Spurlin and Ries, who were not wearing seatbelts, were ejected.
Spurlin was flown to a Lincoln hospital. Ries was pronounced dead at the Nemaha County Hospital in Auburn.
Eaton was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence.
