Accident East Of Dorchester Closes Hwy 33


A 25-year-old Saline County man was taken by LifeFlight to a Lincoln hospital after a crash about two miles west of Crete just before 7 a.m. Thursday.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that Tyler Brandt of Friend had been driving a F-150 pickup westbound on Highway 33 near County Road 1900 when he rear-ended a westbound garbage truck driven by 51-year-old Michael Scott of Beaver Crossing. Saline County Deputy Tom Mitchell said Scott was attempting to make a right turn off the highway.

Crete firefighters extricated Brandt from the truck. There were no other reports of injuries. Brandt was taken by LifeFlight to BryanLGH Medical Center West. He was listed in serious condition as of early Thursday afternoon. The crash closed Highway 33 for at least an hour and a half.
