Police: 2 of 3 dogs riding in car die in Omaha crash

omaha-policeOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say two of three dogs riding in a car died when the driver crashed on an accident-prone road in northwest Omaha.

The crash happened early Wednesday morning on Blair High Road. Investigators say a woman driving the car eastbound lost control, went through a wooded area, then hit a tree.

Police say the woman was able to crawl from the wreckage and back toward the road. Another driver then spotted her and called 911.

Police say the woman suffered broken bones and cuts. Officers found two of the three dogs dead at the scene. The condition of the third dog is not known.

Police are investigating whether excessive speed contributed to the crash.
