Sheriff: 1 person killed in 2-vehicle crash in north Omaha

fatal-accidentOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says one person is dead following a two-vehicle, late-night crash in north Omaha.

The sheriff’s office says the crash occurred around 10:45 p.m. Friday on Sorenson Parkway.

A preliminary investigation shows that a westbound car rear-ended another car at a high speed. The car that was hit was carrying three people, and a person in the front passenger seat died at the scene. The driver and a back seat passenger were taken to a hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening.

The driver of the car that rear-ended the other also suffered minor injuries.

The names of those injured have not yet been released.

An autopsy has been ordered. Investigators are looking into whether speed and alcohol contributed to the crash.
