A 21-year-old woman was driving the truck when she lost control of the vehicle, entered a ditch and rolled, throwing Hocij from the truck, investigators said. Hocij was pronounced dead at the scene. The 21-year-old driver had to be extracted from the truck and was flown to an Omaha hospital in critical condition.
