DAVID CITY, Neb. (AP) — A 51-year-old Omaha man has been given probation for causing a collision that fatally injured two brothers from Rising City.

Christopher Pokorny was sentenced last week in Butler County to two years of probation, 400 hours of community service and was told to pay two $500 fines. He’d pleaded guilty to two counts of misdemeanor vehicular homicide.

Authorities say Pokorny was driving east on Nebraska Highway 92 on May 2 last year when his pickup ran into the back of an eastbound minivan that was slowing to turn left. Authorities say two van passengers, 8-year-old Caleb Prellwitz and his 18-year-old brother, Joshua, were injured and died later at a Lincoln hospital.
