Ticket to Be Issued to Neb. State Trooper in Crash

state-patrol-logo(AP) — A state trooper will receive a traffic ticket in connection to a vehicle collision that Omaha police say happened after he ran a red light.

Omaha City Prosecutor David Smalheiser said Wednesday that 43-year-old Jason Morris will get a citation for violating a traffic signal.

Police say Morris was driving when he ran a red light in the early morning hours of Feb. 23. He collided with another vehicle. Two adults and three children went to the hospital but were not seriously hurt. Morris was not injured.

An investigation of the crash remains ongoing. Patrol spokeswoman Deb Collins says an internal review or investigation will not be public information because it is a personnel issue.
