On Tuesday, May 11, 2021 at approximately 8:15 am, the Gage County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to East Pickrell Road and South 38th Road for an injury accident.

The teenage driver of a 2003 white Honda Civic collided with the rear of a 2007 Chevrolet Impala traveling east that was driven by Jeffrey A Oreskovich of Prague, NE. The teen driver then lost control of his vehicle, sliding into the south ditch and over turning. Air bags in the teen’s vehicle deployed.
