Two-vehicle crash in northeast Nebraska sends one to hospital with serious injuries

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A two-vehicle crash in northeast Nebraska on Wednesday sent one man to the hospital with serious injuries.

Just before 6:45 p.m., the Stanton County Sheriff’s Office was sent to the intersection of Highway 275 and Highway 57, just north of Stanton.

Investigators said a pickup was driving east on Highway 275 when it tried to turn left onto 566th Avenue.

A Camaro was driving west on Highway 275, and the two vehicles collided.

The 71-year-old driver of the Camaro was removed from the wreckage by first responders and taken to a hospital with serious injuries.

The 18-year-old driver of the pickup refused medical treatment at the scene.

It was unclear if seat belts were used in the Camaro, and both vehicles appear to be totaled, officials said.
