Shickley Man Dies in Monday Evening Crash

GENEVA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a southeastern Nebraska man has died in a single-vehicle crash. The Fillmore County Sheriff's Office responded Monday night to a report of a crash on a rural road south of Highway 41. Arriving deputies found 65-year-old Michael Kempf, of Shickley, unresponsive on the ground. He was taken to the Fillmore County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
