The Nemaha County Sheriff's Department reports the wreck occurred a mile-and-a-half east of Auburn on Highway 136 around 3:45.

The Sherifff's Office says an eastbound Ford F-350 pickup driven by 53-year-old LeRoy Forbes, of Falls City, was pulliing a trailer and slowed for slower moving traffic when the trailer was struck from behind by an eastbound Nissan van driven by 63-year-old David Paris, of Green Ridge, Missouri.
