A 51-year-old North Platte man has been seriously injured in a Friday evening crash.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, with the North Platte Police Department, officers responded to a two-vehicle accident near South Oak and West Philip Avenue, at around 9:25 p.m.

Brown said an investigation revealed that an eastbound 2008 Pontiac G6, operated by 51-year-old Timothy Christophersen, crossed over the center line and struck the front left drivers side of a 2008 Chevy Suburban, driven by 35-year-old Melanie Freeze.

Christophersen was unresponsive at the scene, and was transported to Great Plains Health with life-threatening injuries.

Brown said Freeze and a 7-year-old male passenger were also injured, but were not transported by ambulance.

Officers reported that both front airbags were deployed in the Suburban, but they were not in the Pontiac.

It is also believed that Freeze and her passenger were both wearing their seat belts, but Christophersen was not.

Brown said, because the accident may result in a fatality, a blood test was administered on Christophersen.

He said the results are unknown at this time.  An update on Christophersen’s condition was not available.

The accident remains under investigation.
