There was a car accident involving two vehicles and three parties in Alliance on Wednesday afternoon. Alliance Police were called to Flack Ave and 10th St at approximately 2:55 PM where they found a black GMC Sierra and a Nissan had collided.

Alliance Police Officer Tyler Sherlock tells Panhandle Post that the two individuals in the Nissan had to be extricated from the vehicle and be transported by EMS to Box Butte General Hospital in Alliance.

While a cause to the accident has not been revealed, Sherlock says that high rate of speed is possible in this accident and that the Alliance Police Department will review video footage near the scene of the accident.

At the time of the accident, it is unclear whether the injuries sustained to the two individuals in the Nissan are life threatening, but they were serious as Officer Sherlock said one of the parties was unconscious at the scene. Alliance Volunteer Fire Department, Box Butte County Sheriff's Office and two Nebraska Patrol Officers assisted the Alliance Police Department on scene.

Panhandle Post will hope to get an update on the accident if more details are revealed in the next couple of days.
