One Killed in Three-Vehicle Accident in Seward County

SEWARD COUNTY -- A 27-year-old Seward man was killed during a three-vehicle crash on Highway 34 Thursday evening. The Seward County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to the crash at Highway 34 and 210th Road around 6:25 p.m. Thursday. The preliminary investigation shows that a 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier was traveling westbound when it crossed into the eastbound lane, colliding with a 2010 Dodge Caravan. A third vehicle, a 2011 Cadillac SRX that was also traveling eastbound, collided with the rear passenger side of the Dodge Caravan. The male driver of the Chevrolet Cavalier, Zacchary Golter, 27 of Seward, was pronounced dead at the scene. There were no other passengers in the Cavalier. It appears Golter was not wearing a seatbelt, authorities said. The driver of the Dodge Caravan, Susan Riddle, 46 of Seward, was transported to Seward Memorial and later transferred to Bryan West. She is believed to be in stable condition. The third driver of the Cadillac, Joann Eicher, 57 of Lincoln, refused medical at the scene. The accident was investigated by the Seward County Sheriff’s Office with assistance from the Nebraska State Patrol and Seward Police Department.
