Van crashes into pickup, then two power poles in central Nebraska

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A two-vehicle crash near Grand Island on Sunday caused damage to both cars and two power lines.

A Merrick County deputy was dispatched to Highway 30 and Bader Park Road in Chapman, which is 12 miles northeast of Grand Island.

An investigation indicated that a van was traveling north on Bader Park Road, according to the Merrick County Sheriff’s Office.

But due to mechanical failure, the van crashed into the rear of a pickup that was stopped at a stop sign.

The crash caused the van to go off the road and into a ditch, colliding with and damaging a power pole.

The van continued to move across Highway 30 and came to a rest after hitting a second power pole.

The sheriff’s office said everyone was wearing seat belts.

There were no injuries reported.
