north_platte_patchTwo North Platte women were transported to a local hospital after a car collided with a truck early Thursday morning in North Platte.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, North Platte Police responded to a two-vehicle accident at the unmarked intersection of North Maple and West 1st Street at around 7:30 a.m.

Officers determined that a 2012 Chevy Express Cutaway G3500 truck, owned by the North Platte Public School District, and being driven by 56-year-old Lucinda Hoffman, entered the intersection from the south on Maple.  As the truck entered the intersection, a 2006 Ford Taurus driven by Delores Spaulding entered from the east and the two vehicles collided.

Brown said the collision caused the truck to spin approximately 90 degrees and roll, coming to rest on the driver’s side.

Hoffman had to be assisted out of the vehicle by emergency personnel and both women were transported to Great Plains Regional Medical Center via private vehicle.

Brown said, to his knowledge, none of the injuries were life-threatening.

Two passengers in Spaulding’s vehicle were uninjured.  Damage to the truck was estimated at around $10,000 and the Taurus sustained approximately $5,000 in damage.

Both vehicles were towed from the scene and no citations were reported.
