On May 31 at approximately 2:05 p.m. the Scottsbluff Police Department, Scottsbluff Fire Department and Valley Ambulance were called to a two- vehicle rollover accident at the intersection of Highway 26 and 14th Avenue.

A northbound 2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara failed to yield the right of way to a westbound 2014 Dodge Ram pickup.

"The resulting collision caused the Dodge pickup to roll onto its side while striking a light pole," Scottsbluff Police Sergeant Cody R. Enlow said. "The two occupants of the Dodge pickup were extricated from the vehicle by Scottsbluff Fire Department and transported to Regional West Medical Center by Valley Ambulance with non-life threatening injuries."

The 16-year-old male driving the Suzuki was issued a citation for failure to yield to a motor vehicle.

Both vehicles had to be towed from the scene. 

The Nebraska State Patrol and Nebraska Public Power District assisted with the accident.
