LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts was not injured in a traffic accident that occurred about eight blocks from the Capitol.

The crash occurred around 6:50 a.m. Wednesday. Police say the Nebraska state trooper driving the governor also wasn’t hurt, but the driver of the other vehicle was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

Police suspect the other driver failed to yield the right of way and struck the governor’s van.
