A North Platte Fire Department (NPFD) vehicle was involved in an accident on Wednesday evening.

Firefighter Dave Heitman was driving a NPFD SUV north on Jeffers at around 8:00 p.m. with his lights and sirens on.

According to an accident report, Heitman was crossing the intersection at Jeffers and Rodeo Road when he was struck by a 1999 Chevy Malibu driven by Robert Basile.  Basile’s vehicle struck the rear door on the driver’s side of the NPFD vehicle.

Basile’s vehicle was totaled and the NPFD vehicle sustained about $3,000 in damage.

No one was injured in the accident, and both drivers said they did not see the other crossing the intersection.
