Driver transported to hospital with serious injuries. Truck is a total loss.
A driver was rescued after their vehicle went off the road and ended up upside down in a creek in Northeast Nebraska. The accident occurred one mile west of Pilger at about 2:40 p.m. on Friday, June 9th. According to witnesses, a truck hauling scrap metal was going westbound on U.S. Hwy 275 when one of its rear tires blew out causing the truck to lose control, go through a guardrail at the Humbug Creek bridge and crash into the creek bed, landing on its top.
The driver and only occupant of the truck, Jordan Liermann, was trapped inside the vehicle after the crash and part of the cab was in water. Special equipment had to be used to force open the driver-side door and remove Liermann from his vehicle before he could be transported to Norfolk hospital with serious injuries.
Seatbelts were not being used during this incident which caused significant damage resulting in total loss for this truck according to authorities.
This accident also resulted in Highway 275 being closed for an hour while crews worked towards rescuing Liermann from his overturned vehicle.
The sheriff’s office mentioned that this bridge has been known as an accident-prone area since late 1990s with several fatal accidents occurring here over time including one where three men from Madison were killed.
