Beatrice man taken for treatment, from accident near Clatonia

BEATRICE – An accident reportedly happening last Friday injured a 19-year-old man…with the vehicle involved catching fire.

Gage County law officers were dispatched to a single vehicle rollover of a 2015 Chrysler sedan that had been southbound on Southwest 42^nd Road….southeast of Clatonia.  Authorities say the driver was 19-year-old Alexander Glynn of Beatrice.   He apparently lost control of the car, which went into the east ditch and started to roll, coming to rest on its wheels.

Sheriff’s investigators say a passerby stopped to help Glynn out of the vehicle.   Authorities say the car was smoking and eventually started on fire. Glynn was taken to Bryan West Health Center in Lincoln for non-life-threatening injuries.  Authorities said he was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident.

Both Clatonia and Cortland Rescue units responded to the scene, just after three p.m.
