(KLZA)-- A Lincoln man died of injuries suffered in a two-vehicle wreck Wednesday morning on the viaduct on the north edge of Auburn on U.S. Highway 75.

The Nemaha County, Nebraska Sheriff's Office was called at about 7:40 a.m.

The Sheriff's Office says a northbound Ford pickup driven by 60-year-old Kurt Kechely of Lincoln, crossed into the southbound lane and struck a semi-truck driven by Shane Fisher of Bellevue, Nebraska.

Both drivers were transported to the Nemaha County Hospital in Auburn. Kechely died as a result of his injuries.  Fisher was transferred to an Omaha hospital for evaluation.

Freezing conditions on the elevated viaduct are believed to have been a contributing factor in the crash. 

The wreck is being investigated by the Nemaha County Sheriff's Office,  assisted by the Nebraska State Patrol. 

Auburn Fire and Rescue and the Johnson Rescue Squad also responded to the scene of the crash.
