A GoFundMe account has been set-up for one of the youth injured in a crash on Interstate 80 Tuesday morning, in Cass County. Family members say 13-year old Madalinn Oldham was in the pickup that struck a van carrying members of presidential candidate Ben Carson’s campaign, after the van lost control on the icy Interstate.

The teens’ aunt, Sheila Flanagan, says Madalinn was airlifted to the Children’s Hospital in Omaha, where she had emergency surgery upon arrival.

She also has several broken bones, that may require surgery. Because, the hospital is so far away, the family will be staying in Omaha to be near her. She will be in the hospital for awhile and then will have more recovery at home once she is released.

The family is also asking for help to offset some of the expense of having to stay in Omaha to be with Madalinn.If you would like to contribute, go to https://www.gofundme.com/79k8ycc4
