The Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office on Friday identified the boy who died in a rollover crash southeast of Pleasanton on Christmas Day as 17-year-old Gavin Reisbeck of Ravenna.
In a news release, the Sheriff’s Office said Reisbeck was driving east in a Ford F-150 pickup at about 8:40 p.m. Wednesday when he lost control, entered the north ditch and rolled, hitting a power pole.
Reisbeck was thrown from the pickup and died at the scene.
Three 15-year-old boys who were passengers in the pickup, all of Ravenna, were taken to Kearney-area hospitals for their injuries.
The Buffalo County Attorney’s Office has ordered an autopsy, and the investigation into the cash was ongoing as of Friday.
Reisbeck was a junior at Ravenna High School, where he was a standout athlete on the football, basketball and golf teams.
