OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Officials say a teenager had been drinking and ran a red light when her car slammed into a pickup just north of Omaha, killing another teen who was in the car’s back seat.
The crash happened Friday night just blocks north of Northwest High School.
The Douglass County Sheriff’s Office says an 18-year-old man died in the crash. Deputies say a man in the front passenger seat of the car was flown to an Omaha hospital in critical condition. The 18-year-old driver was also taken to a hospital in serious condition.
The driver of the pickup and a 12-year-old passenger in the truck were not injured.
The names of those involved had not been released by midday Saturday.
