Hwy-68 & Colorado Accident

Golden Valley Firefighter-Paramedics treat three patients from this accident at Hwy-68 and Colorado Road Wednesday afternoon. Acting Captain Dunn and Firefighter Boss can be seen making preparations for extrication. The driver of the vehicle struck on the passenger side refused transport to the hospital, however the two occupants of the vehicle with the front end damaged were both transported to KRMC by River Medical. DPS officers closed a single eastbound lane to protect the safety of firefighters as they extricated the driver before transporting him to the hospital. The accident only closed one eastbound lane for about 30-minutes.
