A Lincoln teen was wounded
when the van she was driving rolled into a ditch near West A and Southwest 56th streets
around 4 p.m. June 23.
Renni Johnson, 17, of Lincoln, was traveling east on West A, a gravel
road, when she went over a hill east of Southwest 56th and hit the brakes because of a
train crossing and an oncoming train, according to sheriff’s reports. Her van began
to fishtail and Johnson overcorrected her steering, causing her to lose control. The
vehicle ran off the north side of the road and rolled once, coming to a rest on the
driver’s side, according to sheriff’s reports.
Johnson’s van was a total loss, according to sheriff’s reports.
Southwest Rural Fire responded to the accident and transported Johnson to BryanLGH Medical
Center West; the hospital had no information on her Tuesday. A five-year-old boy traveling
with Johnson sustained minor injuries, but was not hospitalized, according to
sheriff’s reports. Stebbing said he couldn’t find any information on how fast
Johnson was traveling.
