Lincoln, NE (November 22, 2024) – An injury multi-car crash occurred on Thursday in northeast Lincoln, sending three individuals to the hospital with injuries. The incident, reported by the Lincoln Police Department (LPD), appeared at approximately 6:00 p.m. at 63rd St and Adams St.
According to LPD, the crash began when a dump truck pulling a trailer was traveling westbound on Adams St. The trailer detached, drifting into the eastbound lane and colliding with a silver Nissan Rogue and a red BMW.
Emergency responders, including paramedics and firefighters, were dispatched to the scene. Firefighters extricated the driver and two passengers from the Nissan Rogue, who were then transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital for treatment. The passenger in the BMW sustained minor injuries but declined medical transport.
LPD officers managed traffic control in the area for several hours as emergency crews cleared the wreckage and worked to restore normal flow. The dump truck driver was cited for operating without a driver’s license and failing to secure the trailer properly.
