(KLZA)-- A 29-year-old Lincoln man died from injuries suffered early Sunday morning in a rollover crash near Sterling, in Johnson County.

A release from the Johnson County Attorney's Office says William “Billy” Hall was a passenger in a Jeep driven by 42-year-old Marshall Behrens shortly after 1:00 a.m.

Behrens apparently lost control, entered a ditch, slid down a steep embankment and the vehicle rolled before coming to rest in a creek bed.

Hall was transported to the Johnson County Hospital in Tecumseh where he was pronounced dead. Another passenger in the Jeep was transported to a Lincoln hospital and was listed in stable condition. Behrens was not hospitalized.

The news release indicates that alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor in the wreck.

The Johnson County Sheriff's Office and Nebraska State Patrol are investigating the wreck.
