A man hit in his wheelchair by a semitrailer near 17th
and O streets Thursday morning is expected to be OK, fire officials said.
The man had crossed O Street in the crosswalk at 17th
and was turning into the crosswalk along the south side of the intersection
just before 9:45 a.m. when the middle of the truck, which was turning eastbound
onto O Street, hit the wheelchair and tipped him over, Lincoln Fire and Rescue
Capt. David Friedeman said.
He said the man in the wheelchair was taken to a
Lincoln hospital, but his injuries weren't considered to be life-threatening.
