-
Wibben, Donald W.,
74-year-old male, Lincoln; 1994 Toyota pickup
The vehicle driven by Thomas was westbound on Fourth Street,
approaching the stop sign at South Washington. Thomas said he
thought the sign was farther away than it actually was. He started
to slow down for the eventual stop but was too late. When he
realized he was at the intersection, he accidentally applied the gas
pedal rather than the brake and entered the intersection, where he
struck the vehicle driven by Wibben.
Wibben said he saw that Thomas was coming too fast. Wibben slowed
and tried to stop, but was unable to.
Thomas was ticketed for disobeying a stop sign.
