PLATTSMOUTH - Cass County Sheriff William Brueggemann reports a pedestrian accident Saturday evening at the Plattsmouth Harvest Festival parade.

A sheriff’s office press release says the Murray Fire Department received an emergency call during the parade and had to leave the parade in an expedited manner.

The Murray fire truck driven by Christopher Spangler, 71, of Murray was escorted off the parade route by parade personnel.

Investigators say the truck was leaving Main Street at a slow pace when it collided with 58-year-old Ruth Storm of Plattsmouth. Storm was treated at the scene and transported to UNMC for further treatment.
