SIDNEY — CareFlight responded after a golf cart crash on Kossuth Street, which sent several people to the hospital, Saturday evening.

According to information provided by Sidney Police Sgt. Chris Burmeister, officers and Sidney Fire Department Medics were dispatched to the 500 block of Kossuth Street around 8:26 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 15, 2020, on the report of a golf cart crash with injuries.

Four adults were on the eastbound golf cart on Kossuth Street when driver Kelly J. Michael, 47, of Sidney, lost control and crashed, ejecting passengers, Harold W. Fouts, 50, Jimmy R. Walling, 36, and Amber A. Wilson, 24, all of Sidney. The vehicle flipped onto its side and slid down the road.

Each occupant in the golf cart were transported to the Wilson Health for their injuries. One person who sustained a head injury and was taken to Wilson Health, was then transported by CareFlight.

Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash itself at this time, Burmeister reported.

This was a single-vehicle crash and no other vehicles appear to be involved.

At this time, the crash remains under investigation by the Sidney Police Department.
