YORK, Neb. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the death of a man who apparently was struck by a vehicle on a rural road in York County.
Deputies found the man’s body in a roadside ditch Saturday night, about 3 miles (5 kilometers) west of York. They’d been sent to check a report about an abandoned vehicle, which was found on the roadway.
Sheriff Dale Radcliff identified the victim as 41-year-old Chad K. Chapman, of York.
Radcliff told the York News-Times that the driver of the vehicle believed to have hit Chapman contacted the sheriff’s department and that the matter was now considered a “hit accident.” He says it initially had been handled as a hit and run.
Radcliff says an autopsy was performed Sunday.
