(KLZA)-- A wreck involving four vehicles Saturday afternoon in Nemaha County, Nebraska sent four people to the hospital.

The Nemaha County, Nebraska Sheriff's Office report indicates the wreck occurred shortly past noon, about 3 1/2 miles north of Auburn on Highway 75.

According to the report, 65-year-old Randall Rohrs of Johnson was northbound on Highway 75 when he slowed to make a left hand turn and his pickup truck was struck from behind by a car driven by 88-year-old Myrna Campbell of Peru.

The Rohrs pickup spun into the southbound lane where it was struck by a southbound van driven by 47-year-old Jeffrey Blair of American Fork, Utah. The van ended up in deep snow on the side of the highway.

A fourth vehicle, a utility automobile driven by 48-year-old Richard Johnson of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was southbound and able to avoid the wrecked vehicles but struck a mailbox as it left the road.

The Auburn Rescue Squad had to free Campbell from her car. Both Campbell and Rohrs were transported to the Nemaha County Hospital in Auburn with what were described as serious injuries.

Two passengers in the van, a 13-year-old and a six-year-old, were transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
