A Holmesville man was pronounced dead at the scene of a car-semi accident early Thursday morning west of Adams, according to the Gage County Sheriff’s Office.

Anthony Ideus, 23, was driving  in a 1991 Dodge Spirit when he failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of Nebraska 41 and State Highway Spur 34B. As the car travelled through the intersection, it was hit on the driver’s side by a semitrailer driving eastbound on 41.

Ideus’ car came to a stop in a cornfield northeast of the intersection. Rescue workers transported Ideus to a field about a half-mile from the accident site, where a Star Care helicopter was prepared to transport him. Ideus, however, was pronounced dead at the scene.

All three were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident, according to the sheriff’s office.

" This is horrible! I feel so bad for Anthony's family. I'm surprised we do not have more semi-trucks hitting cars on Highway 41. They speed through here like bandits! If we would build a weigh station on Highway 41 between 77 and 50, maybe we would have alot less semis traveling here, which would also cut down on the wear and tear of our roads, not to mention our citizens!

I hope that the driver of the semi and his son are ok, my thoughts are with them as my thoughts and prayers are with anthony's family. "

" don't blame the Semi, the car ran the stop sign, it's not always the truckers fault "

" Coming from the South, a tree used to block the stop sign. I call the county and they eventually cut it down a couple months later. That was 5 years ago...I hope this wasn't the cause again! "
