Two people were flown to a hospital in Omaha and one transported by an ambulance to the hospital in Shenandoah, following a two-vehicle collision Wednesday evening on Old Highway 2, in Fremont County. Sheriff’s officials say a vehicle driven by Randy Ward, of Farragut, was turning left onto 370th Avenue from 190th Street (Old Highway 2), when his vehicle collided with a vehicle driven by Hanna Rothermel, of Clarinda.

Rothermel and her passenger, Scott Brown, of Clarinda, were flown by helicopter to Omaha, while Ward was taken to the local hospital. The accident, which occurred at around 5-p.m. Wednesday, remains under investigation. Authorities say alcohol was NOT a factor in the crash.
