Two medical helicopters were summoned…one from Lincoln to the scene of the accident and the other from Omaha, to the Beatrice Municipal Airport.  Beatrice Fire and Rescue ambulance units were also dispatched. The accident involved two people being thrown from an ATV after it veered off the roadway…a female and a male both approximately 30 years old.
