Accidents

Oct. 4, 12:50 p.m.

Accident occurred at the intersection of South Washington and Fourth Street.

  • Thomas, Robert E., 84-year-old male, Lincoln; 2008 Chevrolet Malibu

  • 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.
