NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-Kickoff for the North Platte High School girls soccer District final was delayed last night after their opponent's bus was involved in an accident on Interstate 80.
According to the Seward County Sheriff's Office, at around 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, deputies responded to an accident on I-80 near mile marker 338.
An investigation revealed that the 62-year-old driver and lone occupant of a minivan crashed into a bus carrying the Lincoln Pius X girls soccer team.
Deputies said there were no serious injuries, but both drivers were transported to Bryan LGH in Lincoln as a precaution.
As deputies investigated further, the driver of the minivan was found to be in possession of approximately $570,000 in suspected drug currency.
The investigation is ongoing.
The Lady Dawgs won the District final 3-0 to advance to the state tournament at Creighton University in Omaha next week.
