A report by Red Willow County sheriff's deputy Lt. Burke Curl indicates that Mollring was injured at 1:52 p.m., when the front end of the SUV driven by Johnny E. Walker, 61, of Trenton, dropped into a wash-out in the pasture in which Walker, Mollring and Randy Bauer, also of McCook, were slowly driving. The pasture is located six miles north and three miles east of Bartley, just inside Red Willow County at the north end of a dead-end county road.

Walker and Bauer, both real estate agents, were uninjured.

Mollring retired from teaching history/social studies and physical education and coaching football and track in May.
