A Nebraska man was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Council Bluffs, following a two-vehicle crash in Montgomery County on Thursday morning. Authorities say emergency personnel were called at around 10:50-a.m. to the accident scene at the intersection of Box Elder Avenue and 200th Street.

A 2016 Chevy Malibu driven by 40-year-old Michael E. Osterhoudt of Lincoln, NE., was traveling north on Box Elder Avenue when he failed to stop at the stop sign with 200th Street. A 2014 Mack CXU Semi driven by Terry Gene Sleep of Northboro, IA was traveling east on 200th Street. Sleep saw the Malibu run the stop sign, but he was unable to avoid colliding with the car. The semi hit the front driver’s side fender of the car, causing the vehicle to spin into the south ditch. Following the crash, the semi entered the north ditch. Osterhoudt was extricated from the Malibu by mechanical means before being transported by Lifenet helicopter to Bergan Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs for suspected serious injuries. Sleep was uninjured in the collision. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts.

The crash totaled both vehicles, with the damage amounting to $58,000 altogether. A fence at the intersection, owned by Tony Johnson, sustained an estimated $500 damage.
