Nebraska authorities say a pickup truck crashed into a van carrying high school basketball players, killing two of their coaches and another man.

The accident happened Friday along a state highway just west of Ansley, a small town about 160 miles west of Lincoln.

The State Patrol says the van’s driver, 38-year-old Zane Harvey, and his front-seat passenger, 24-year-old Anthony Blum, were killed. The truck’s driver, 70-year-old Albert Sherbeck, also died.

The patrol says the Broken Bow High School students were returning from a basketball clinic in Kearney when an eastbound truck crossed the centerline and hit their westbound van head-on.

The patrol says eight boys were taken to hospitals, including two who were treated and released. The conditions of the other six boys haven’t been released.
