Three people have died and possibly eight others were injured in a three-vehicle accident yesterday (Saturday) on Interstate 80 near Adair. At approximately 9:10 a.m., a westbound 2007 Volvo semi tractor-trailer driven by 31-year-old Marcelas Engram of Savannah, Ga. crossed the median. He collided with an eastbound 2014 Chrysler Town and Country van driven by 43-year-old Toby Steckler of Audubon, forcing both into the south ditch with the semi trailer blocking both eastbound lanes. A 2008 GMC Yukon, driven by 50-year-old Daniel Doggett of Gretna, Neb., was eastbound and struck the rear of the trailer. A passenger in the Doggett vehicle, 41-year-old Rodney Shane Sanborn of Gretna, Neb. was pronounced dead at the scene. Two children in the Steckler vehicle, 11-year-old Gavin Steckler and 14-year-old Jamison Steckler were also killed in the collision. The names of all others injured are not yet available. We will bring you an update as soon as we receive details.
