The Cass County Sheriff’s Office reports two Atlantic residents suffered serious injuries during an accident Tuesday morning. The crash happened on Highway 83 (Marne Road) at around 7:56-a.m.  just south of Glacier Road.

A 2013 Hyundai Elantra owned by 28-year old Elizabeth Ford, and driven by 35-year old Michael Miller, was southbound on Marne Road approaching the railroad overpass when the vehicle veered into the east ditch, and struck a metal railroad bridge abutment.

Ford, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was airlifted to UNMC in Omaha; Miller was airlifted to Creighton in Omaha. The car was considered a total loss. The crash remains under investigation. The Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Atlantic Fire and Rescue, Medivac, and the Atlantic Police Department.
