Golden Valley Firefighters responded in force Thursday at 8:47 am to a remarkable two car rear-end accident on Hwy-40 Westbound where a AAA Transport vehicle struck the back of a four-door compact car.  The resulting accident demolished the silver Hyundai sedan, sending the sole occupant to the Trauma Center via Guardian Air Helicopter.  The patient was quickly transferred to the helicopter while the driver and passenger in the AAA Medical transport vehicle were transported to KRMC for moderate injuries.   Details of the accident are pending following the investigation by DPS officials.  Westbound traffic was slowed to a crawl for about 30-minutes while the patients were treated by Golden Valley Paramedics and DPS officials cleared the scene.
