LINCOLN -- A cargo container tumbling off a flatbed truck onto a nearby minivan on the Route 146 north 295 interchange sent six occupants of the van to the hospital Tuesday afternoon, including one with a reported head injury and cuts.
The 5:20 p.m. accident occurred as the flatbed truck and its load passed under the 295 overpass bridge and apparently contacted the structure, setting up a chain reaction that resulted in the container falling from the vehicle as it continued on under the overpass.
The container fell onto the roof of the Dodge minivan.
