The younger brother of legendary Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne has died following a crash west of Hastings.

John C. "Jack" Osborne, 78 of Hastings, died Sunday evening after his vehicle collided with with another vehicle on U.S. 6.

The Adams County Sheriff's Office told KSNB-TV that Osborne had been southbound on Juniata Avenue, failed to yield at a stop sign and crashed with the westbound vehicle around 7:50 p.m.

Both drivers were wearing seat belts, and alcohol is not believed to have been a factor in the crash, the TV station reported.
