On Thursday, just before 3pm, at least three cars were involved in an injury accident in Scottsbluff. Scanner traffic indicated a three vehicle accident with unknown injuries on Highway 26 and 21st Avenue in Scotts Bluff. Nebraska State Patrol called it in as a 10-45 and asked for 10-18, which means hurried response. There was severe damage to all three vehicles in the highway speed collision. Triage was set up, and we are happy to report that all three patients were conscious and breathing, and were transported to Regional West Medical Center.

Yesterday, a female officer from the Scottsbluff Police Department saved a baby's life. An incredible video was submitted to us of a Scotts Bluff Police officer apparently saving the life of a choking child. We called the Scottsbluff Police Department to get the name of the heroic officer. Regardless of who that female officer was, we are so thankful for the training and response of our local officers. The video showed an infant child choking, with a female officer working diligently to save a life. After what seemed like minutes, the child responded and was breathing, before medics were able to arrive on scene. We personally called Captain Carissa Brass and thanked her department for the training and asked for the name. In any case, we appreciate the service of our local officers.
