ELM CREEK, Neb. (AP) - In a story Sept. 23 about a fatal collision between a recreational vehicle and a car in Phelps County, The Associated Press, relying on information from the Nebraska State Patrol, reported erroneously that the RV driver and his passenger were not injured. The driver and front seat passenger were injured and sent to a hospital, as was one of four children in the rear of the RV.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Patrol: Driver died after running stop sign and hitting RV
Authorities say a man died after his car collided with a recreational vehicle at a highway intersection in south-central Nebraska’s Phelps County
