"KENNARD, Neb. – Three people were injured in a two-vehicle crash on Saturday after a railfan hit another truck head-on while chasing Union Pacific 4-8-4 No. 844 on its run back west to Cheyenne, Wyo., the Washington County Pilot-Tribune & Enterprise reports.
The incident happened on U.S. Highway 30 near Kennard, Neb., northwest of Omaha, Neb. According to the newspaper, a Ford Ranger pickup truck, driven by a railroad enthusiast, hit a gray pickup truck head-on while traveling on the two-lane road. The Ranger was part of a caravan of vehicles chasing No. 844 westbound.

First responders had to use the jaws of life to pry open the Ford Ranger. Two of the three people involved in the incident were transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The railfan involved in the incident received a citation from law enforcement, according to the newspaper article.

The incident happened along UP’s Blair Subdivision. No. 844 was headed back to Cheyenne after attending the 2017 College World Series in Omaha."
