News Release from Lincoln County Sheriff

A Highway 30 crash sent the sole driver to GPRMC at 1:40p.m. Monday.

58 year old Terrance L. Roberts, of Hershey, was eastbound at MM 171 when the right rear tire tread separated from the tire causing the vehicle to go into a skid and roll 3-4 times.

The North Platte Fire Department and Rescue Unit was dispatched to the scene.

Ambulance personnel transported Mr. Roberts to GPRMC where he is being treated.

No serious head injuries were located, but Doctors are investigating possible a possible neck injury.

Due to leaking gasoline, the North Platte Fire Department stood by until the scene could be cleaned up.

Mr. Roberts told Deputies that he was wearing his seatbelt.
