COZAD, Neb. (AP) — Authorities in Nebraska say a Maywood man was killed in a crash over the weekend just south of Cozad in southwestern Nebraska.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that Juan Baeza, 20, was driving a pickup truck on Nebraska Highway 21 around 3:00 a.m. Saturday when he went off the road and rolled about 9 miles south of Cozad.

The Dawson County Sheriff's Office says a passerby discovered the wreckage.

Baeza was taken to a Cozad hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Investigators say Baeza was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
