(KLZA)-- Two people were transferred to the Nemaha County Hospital in Auburn Thursday morning following a three-vehicle wreck just north of the intersection of 730 Road and U.S. 75-Highway near Auburn.

The Nemaha County Sheriff's report indicates a car driven by Cody Humm of Johnson stopped in the left, northbound lane of Highway 75 attempting to make a left turn onto 730 Road. A van driven by Shelby Barnard of Beatrice was in the right-side northbound lane of Highway 75. A Chevy Avalanche driven by Shayne Steria of Auburn was behind Barnard vehicle. Steria attempted to pass the Barnard vehicle on the left. Steria's vehicle struck the back end of the Humm car as well as the left side of the Barnard vehicle.

The collission sent the Humm vehicle onto the southbound shoulder as well as the Steria vehicle. The van driven by Barnard came to a stop on the northbound shoulder.

Humm and his passenger were transported by Auburn Rescue to the Nemaha County Hospital in Auburn with unspecified injuries. Barnard was transporting six student from Wymore Southern School, along with an adult female, to Peru State College on a field trip. None of the occupants of the van were injured.

The Humm vehicle and Steria vehicle both had substantial damage, while the Barnard vehicle was heavily damaged on the left side.

The Nebraska State Patrol, Auburn Rescue Squad, Auburn Fire Department, Peru Fire and Rescue and Nebraska Department of Roads all assisted at the site of the crash.
