Peters, 64, McCook, is in critical condition in Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney. According to the Nebraska State Patrol, Peters was the driver of a semi truck and trailer that was westbound on County Road 715, turned north on County Road 383, and apparently did not see the approaching eastbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe train.
