MEADOW GROVE, Neb. -- A two-vehicle accident leaves one dead and one seriously injured in northeast Nebraska Tuesday. 

The Madison County Sheriff's Office said they responded to the accident this morning around 7:30 a.m. The accident happened two miles east of Meadow Grove on Highway 275. 

When deputies arrived to the scene, they found an Elkhorn man, who was driving an SUV, and pronounced him dead at the scene. 

The Sheriff's Office said rescue personnel from Meadow Grove and Battle Creek extricated a Tilden woman from a pickup truck. She sustained life-threatening injuries and required additional assistance from Norfolk Rescue. 

Law enforcement's preliminary investigation found that the SUV was heading west and crossed into the eastbound lanes, causing the pickup driving to try to swerve away but instead a head-on collision happened. 

The Madison County Sheriff's Office, with help from the Nebraska State Patrol, is continuing to investigate the incident. 

Next of kin have not been fully notified as of 2:50 p.m. Mar. 11, 2025. No names will be released at this time.
