PLATTSMOUTH - Cass County Sheriff, Wm. C. Brueggemann reports a three-vehicle accident on Highway 75 on Thursday morning just south of Church Road.

A tan Jeep Wrangler driven by 18-year-old Payton Haugaard of Plattsmouth was traveling north on the highway when she struck a black Lexus IS200 driven by 40-year-old Eric Fourote of Omaha pushing his vehicle into the third vehicle, a black Jeep Compass driven by 33-year-old James Gunderson of Scottsdale Arizona. 

The two vehicles struck were stopped for another vehicle turning off of the highway.  There were no apparent injuries but Payton was transported by Plattsmouth Rescue to Bellevue for observation.

 Seat belts were in use and speed does not appear to be a factor.
