HUMPHREY, Neb. (AP) - A 79-year-old Omaha woman died in a collision between her car and a trailer full of corn.

The Platte County Sheriff's Department says Ramona White was pronounced dead at the scene on state Highway 91 Saturday evening, two miles west of U.S. Highway 81.

White was alone in her car, headed east on Highway 91 at 6:08 p.m. when she hit the eastbound trailer of corn. It was being pulled by a tractor driven by 78-year-old Arthur Olmer of Humphrey. Deputies say he was not injured.

The sheriff's department says White was wearing a seat belt and that alcohol played no rule in the accident.
