Three Teenagers Transported After One Vehicle Accident South Of Tilden

Three teenagers were transported to the hospital after a one-vehicle accident south of Tilden on Friday afternoon.

At approximately 4:20 p.m., Tilden Fire & Rescue and the Nebraska State Patrol responded to the scene of a one-vehicle accident two miles south of Tilden. 

According to the Nebraska State Patrol, the car was traveling westbound on 841 Road when it came up to the intersection of 841 Road and Hwy 45. The car was traveling too fast to stop on the gravel, and it slid across the highway and into the ditch before striking a utility pole, according to the NSP.

The car, operated by a juvenile driver, came to rest against the utility pole in the southwest corner of the intersection. The NSP said that no seatbelts were in use when the accident occurred. Airbags deployed in the accident, and the occupants were transported to Faith Regional Health Services in Norfolk by Tilden and Meadow Grove Rescue to be treated for minor injuries.

The Nebraska State Patrol said that the driver will be ticketed for no operator's license and for violating a stop sign.
