Firefighter-Paramedics treat multiple patients from this three car accident at Hwy-68 and Milky Way Road in Golden Valley

Golden Valley Firefighters responded to a three car accident on Hwy-68 Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 pm that sent a total four persons to KRMC for various injuries, including one Level-1 trauma and two children.  The collision occurred on Hwy-68 when a vehicle reportedly turned in front of a westbound pickup truck, getting struck on the passenger side.  The collision sent the vehicle into a minivan on Milky Way Road that was at the stop sign about to enter Hwy-68.  The driver of the minivan refused treatment at the scene even though she was struck by the air-bag deployment in the vehicle.  The driver of the pickup was rushed to KRMC for suspected Level-1 trauma injuries due to the high speed impact.  A mother and her two children were also transported to KRMC for evaluation of minor injuries.  Westbound traffic was reduced to one lane for approximately 45-minutes while patients were treated and DPS investigated the scene.
