Gage County, NE : Truck crashes into light pole in Beatrice Tuesday afternoon, August 16, 2016
The passenger side a pickup truck's engine compartment was collapsed all the way to the wheel well after the truck collided with another vehicle and crashed into a light pole in Beatrice Tuesday afternoon.
The gold Ford pickup with Texas plates was traveling west on Bell Street just before 5 p.m. when it collided with a northbound silver Ford sedan at the intersection with South Seventh Street.
The driver of the pickup was examined at the scene for minor injuries. Beatrice Fire and Rescue Chief Brian Daake said at the scene that he probably would not need to be transported to a hospital.
The driver of the sedan was not injured. The names of the drivers were not available at the scene.
The pickup impacted the sedan at the passenger-side corner of the sedan's engine compartment. An officer at the scene speculated that the subsequent spin caused the truck's rear tire to hit the sedan, leaving a black streak and denting the sedan's side. The truck then collided with the light pole at the northwest corner of the intersection.
Police reported minor damage to the light pole, but nothing that would require immediate examination.
