A one vehicle crash claimed the life of a 32-year-old Lincoln woman early Saturday morning. The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office responded to Highway 77 and Pella Road around 6:30 a.m., but the exact time of the crash is still unknown.
Investigators say a southbound blue 2017 Chevrolet Malibu driven by Megan Allen left the road and struck a cement culvert in the west ditch. The vehicle rolled, became airborne and came to rest on it’s top in ditch just south of Pella Road.
Allen was the only person in the vehicle and was airlifted to Bryan Medical Center West Campus. Allen was pronounced deceased shortly after arrival. The sheriff’s department says Allen was not wearing her seatbelt at the time of the crash and alcohol use is not considered to be a contributing factor.
Medical personnel from the Hallam, Cortland, and Firth Rural Fire Departments responded to the scene.
