Beatrice, NE (December 30, 2024) – An injured two-car crash occurred Monday afternoon in north Beatrice, where slick road conditions were a contributing factor. Authorities responded to the collision at approximately 3:30 p.m. at the intersection of Hwy 77 and Industrial Row.
According to the Beatrice Police Department (BPD), a mid-1990s Ford Econoline van collided with the rear of a Ford Expedition SUV. Both vehicles were traveling south on Hwy 77 when the van lost control on icy roads and struck the SUV. Emergency services, including Beatrice Fire and Rescue, were promptly dispatched to assist with injuries and manage traffic flow.
The van’s driver, a male in his 60s, was transported to Beatrice Community Hospital and Health Center with injuries. The SUV’s driver was evaluated on-site and declined further medical treatment.
Beatrice Fire and Rescue provided critical extrication efforts to remove the injured party from the van safely. Traffic in the area was temporarily diverted as crews worked to clear the roadway. Due to hazardous weather conditions, no citations were issued.
Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with the injured victim and their loved ones during this difficult time.
