LOCATION: West Sargent and 6th Street / Beatrice                   

OFFENSE: Injury Accident                 

CASE #: 2022-6232                

On Sunday, November 27, 2022 at approximately 12:57 pm, the Gage County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a rollover accident with injuries on West Sargent Road, east of 6th Street outside of Beatrice.

The deputy investigating the accident found two juvenile males from Beatrice on the side of the road being assisted by citizens who had witnessed the accident or came across it moments after the accident occurred.

The investigation revealed the 13-year-old driver had taken his parents’ car, drove to a friend’s house in Beatrice, then went to the Dollar General Store in Beatrice and was taking Sargent Road to go home.

Both juveniles were transported by ambulance to Beatrice Community Hospital with minor injuries and their parents were notified. Both were treated and released within an hour. The 13-year-old driver was cited for operating a motor vehicle without a driver’s license.

Assisting agencies were Beatrice Rural Fire Department, Beatrice Police Department, Beatrice Fire Department, and Huls Towing.  Alcohol is not suspected and it is undetermined if the juveniles were wearing seatbelts.
