On 07/04/15 at approximately 2307 hours, Wymore EMS and the Gage County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a single-vehicle injury accident that occurred on S. 23rdRoad between Hwy. 77 and W. Pine Road. Upon investigation, it was determined that Andy C. Nielsen, age 50, of Wymore, was driving southbound on S. 23rdRoad just south of Hwy. 77 when he lost control of his vehicle and went off the west side of S. 23rdRoad. Nielsen’s vehicle rolled an unknown number of times, causing Nielsen to be ejected. A passenger in Nielsen’s vehicle, Randall Cameron, age 31, also of Wymore, sustained only minor injuries.
