A commander with the Nebraska State Patrol suffered minor injuries when his unmarked cruiser was rear-ended by another vehicle Monday morning on Highway 30.
The NSP says the crash happened around 7:40 Monday morning when the NSP vehicle, an unmarked Dodge Durango, was stopped on Highway 30 just east of Silver Creek, waiting for the vehicle in front of it to turn left onto Monroe Road. As the vehicle was waiting for a train to pass, a Cadillac CTS struck the NSP vehicle from behind.
The State Patrol says the commander suffered minor injuries in the crash, and was transported to the hospital in Columbus to receive medical clearance. They say he was treated and released.
The driver of the Cadillac was also treated at the hospital for minor injuries and was released. The Cadillac driver was cited for careless driving and following too closely.
