(KLZA)--Multiple emergency personnel responded Wednesday morning to a crash involving five vehicles at the S-Curves on Highway 75 north of Auburn.

First responders from Auburn, Peru, and Nebraska City arrived at the scene after a semi-truck and trailer were traveling in the slow-traffic lane, with several vehicles queued behind it.

According to witnesses, a northbound car tried to pass the semi but was unable to clear it before the slow lane ended. The semi appeared to be forced to merge back into the regular traffic lane or leave the roadway.

The car then moved into the southbound lane attempting to pass the semi, colliding with a southbound vehicle and subsequently striking other vehicles. Debris was scattered across Highway 75, and two additional cars were damaged in the chain-reaction crash.

The Nemaha County Sheriff’s Department and the Otoe County Sheriff responded to the scene. An initial investigation is being conducted by the Nemaha County Sheriff’s Department.

No information on injuries or arrests has been released at this time.
