LANCASTER COUNTY, Neb. - The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office is sharing new details in a crash that left two dead on Wednesday. 

According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies and emergency medical crews were dispatched to the Highway 77 and Firth Road just after 4:00 p.m. on a report of a two vehicle accident. 

Investigators say a 2007 Buick Lucerne, driven by 63-year-old Patrick Holley of rural Firth, entered the intersection before being struck by a Ford F-150 pickup driven by 43-year-old Joseph Grant of Lincoln. 

The impact pushed the Buick into the northwest ditch, while the pickup came to rest in the median north of the intersection.

Patrick Holley was pronounced dead at the scene. His wife, 63-year-old Penny Holley, who was a passenger in the Buick, was transported to a local hospital where she later died from her injuries.

Grant was also taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No other occupants were involved.

Authorities say alcohol and drug use are not suspected, but investigators are still working to determine whether seat belts were in use.

The intersection was closed for about three hours while deputies conducted their investigation
