Accident scene • A Friday morning collision at the intersection of Highway 14 and US Highway 275 led to a second collision at the spot.
A two-vehicle accident occurred at the intersection of Highway 14 and U.S. 275, Friday, in Neligh.
At approximately 11:08 a.m., Neligh Police Department, Antelope County Sheriff's Office, Neligh Fire and Neligh Rescue were dispatched to a two-vehicle accident at the intersection.
Following a preliminary investigation, officials determined a Ford Fusion, driven by Gretchen Bartelson, of Sibley, Iowa, was southbound on Highway 14. Bartelson stopped at the intersection of Highway 275 and proceeded across the road, where she was struck by an eastbound Buick LaCrosse, driven by Shelby Heilbrun, of Atkinson.
The collision forced a secondary collision between the Fusion and a Peterbilt semi-tractor/trailer, driven by Thad Fox, of O'Neill. Fox's semi tractor/trailer was stopped at the stop sign on the south side of the intersection, facing north.
The Fusion and Lacrosse were towed away from the scene with disabling damage, while the semi was driven away from the scene.
The Nebraska Department of Roads assisted with the scene as well.
