Lincoln, NE : Ambulance en route to Lincoln hospital from highway crash hit by car on Thursday, December, 28th 2017
A Palmyra ambulance taking an injured person to Bryan West Campus from a wreck on Nebraska 2 was hit by another car blocks from the Lincoln hospital.
The collision occurred at 16th and Burr streets at about 2:15 p.m. Thursday.
Lincoln Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Jim Bopp said the ambulance was able to continue on to the hospital, and the driver of the car that broadsided the ambulance declined treatment at the scene.
The first crash occurred when a car attempting to turn west from Palmyra pulled into the path of an eastbound vehicle on Nebraska 2. Five people were taken to a local hospital with injuries that did not appear life-threatening, said Otoe County Deputy Mike Holland.
That crash temporarily stopped traffic in both directions on Nebraska 2.
