Vehicle accident near Mitchell sends three people to hospital

MITCHELL, Neb. (KNEP) - Three people were hospitalized following a two-vehicle crash just east of Mitchell Tuesday morning.

The Nebraska State Patrol said a Dodge Caravan rear ended a GMC Denali as they were both eastbound on Highway 26.

Preliminary investigation shows that neither driver was able to see due to the sun glare and pulled over onto the shoulder, which resulted in the collision.

Both drivers and a passenger were sent to Regional West Medical Center. One occupant had to be transported by an Airlink medical helicopter.

Authorities haven't released the names of those involved in the accident.
