A 28-year-old Princeton man is in critical condition at a Lincoln hospital after his vehicle crashed into a train early Wednesday.
Capt. Tom Brookhouser of the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called to Southwest 142nd Street, half a mile north of Nebraska 33, just north of the Saline County line, and found Corey Loupin pinned in his GMC Yukon. He was extricated and flown to Bryan West Campus.
Loupin was alert at the scene, but his injuries were believed to be life-threatening.
Investigators believe he may have run into the side of a train at about 3 a.m.
Brookhouser said the train didn’t stop because it didn’t know it had been hit.
He said officials believe alcohol may have been a factor.
