Mail carrier Dwight (Ike) Miller was injured in a serious car accident recently and sustained multiple injuries. Miller, a long-time mail carrier in the Wellfleet and Maywood area, was injured on U.S. Highway 83 south of North Platte, near Lake Maloney, when his Chevy Blazer hit a grain truck. He is currently at Creighton University hospital in Omaha. A fund has been established to help with medical and living expenses. Miller, a long-time mail carrier in the Wellfleet and Maywood area, collided with a grain truck Nov. 13 that pulled out of a cornfield. Miller was pinned under the back of the truck until rescue crew arrived from North Platte. He was taken by ambulance to Great Plains Regional Medical Center and life-flighted to Omaha with a fractured left leg, right elbow, ribs, and the right orbital socket around the eye, plus numerous bumps and bruises, according to a Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office report. It was the second time Miller was injured in an accident in less than a year. Both accidents occurred along U.S. 83. The first accident was in January. Miller suffered a neck injury. He waited 45 minutes for an ambulance to arrive, after dispatchers mistakenly sent rescue units in the wrong direction. Contributions can be dropped off at the Equitable Bank in North Platte, The Bearly Nuff café in Wellfleet on U.S. Highway 83, the Maywood VFW Hall or the Town and Country Market in Maywood. The address of The Barely Nuff is PO Box 52, Wellfleet, NE 69170.
