GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) – Five teenagers have been hurt in a single-car crash on Interstate 80.
Nebraska State Patrol spokeswoman Deb Collins said that 18-year-old Nyamal Gatlauk, of Grand Island, fell asleep at the wheel, causing the car to crash into the median, hit a guardrail and spin. The crash happened between 8 and 8:30 a.m. Saturday just east of Greenwood.
Collins says four 15-year-old girls were passengers in the car, and all five teens were taken to hospitals for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Gatluak was cited for driving without a license, reckless driving and for seat belt violations. No number was listed for Gatlauk.
