GORDON, Neb. (AP) - An elderly Nebraska woman has died in a crash involving the all-terrain vehicle she was driving and a semitrailer.

The Sheridan County Sheriff's office says 85-year-old Gladys Green of rural Gordon was driving the ATV eastbound on the westbound shoulder of U.S. Highway 20 just after noon on Monday. Investigators say she tried to make a right-hand turn onto a county road when she was hit by the truck.

Sheriff Terry Robbins says Green was alone and was heading to property she owned to spray weeds when the crash happened.

The 40-year-old driver of the semi has not been cited for any violations.
