It was about 5:00pm when a 17-year-old driver, identified as Taylor Hughes in an SUV with her 7-year-old sister as a passenger was driving north on Highway 75 and was attempting to make a turn onto Platteview. Investigators currently believe that the teen driver failed to yield, which caused it to collide a van. Another car that was nearing the area attempted to avoid the wreck but veered off the road and struck a pole. The 7-year-old girl sustained the worst injuries, and was brought to Nebraska Medicine with a severe head injury, but is in stable condition.
