Lancaster Co, NE (March 26, 2025) – A two-car injury crash occurred on Wednesday afternoon in Lancaster County, leaving three people hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The incident, reported by the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, happened at approximately 4:30 p.m. at the intersection of West Roca Rd and SW 14th St in Centerville.

According to the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, a pickup truck traveling north on SW 14th St. collided with a car heading east on West Roca Rd. The force of the collision caused the pickup to flip onto its side while the car sustained significant front-end damage. Firefighters from Southwest Fire and Rescue worked diligently at the scene to extricate the victims from the vehicles.

The passenger in the pickup, along with two passengers from the car, were transported by ambulance to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
