OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The driver of a car involved in a deadly crash in Omaha has been charged with motor vehicle homicide.
Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine says 20-year-old Vidal Becerra was charged on Thursday.
Kleine says Becerra had a blood-alcohol level of three times the legal limit of .08 percent when he crashed his car Wednesday night.
Police say a front-seat passenger, 21-year-old Nicholas Galas, of Omaha, was killed. A back-seat passenger, Eduardo Corona, refused medical treatment and was booked on an outstanding warrant.
Becerra was treated for minor injuries and arrested on suspicion of criminal homicide.
Kleine says Becerra will make an initial court appearance on Friday. His case is not on the online court system, and it’s unclear if he has an attorney.
