(KLZA)--A young man with ties to the Falls City and Auburn area was critically injured in a near head-on collision Sunday morning in northwestern Nebraska.

20-year-old Preston Hall, the son of Falls City native Andy Hall and Auburn native Shanda Gottula Hall, was driving a car on Highway 83, south of Valentine, about 10:30 Sunday morning when his car was involved in a wreck with a motor home.

Hall was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Kearney and then transferred to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha where he remains listed in stable, but critical condition.

Preston Hall attends the University of Nebraska at Kearney where he is a member of the football team.

His grandparents include Randy and Lori Gottula and James Hall Sr. of Falls City and Donna Guttula of Auburn.
