PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — A tow truck driver has been found not guilty for the crash deaths of two people south of Omaha.

A Sarpy County jury in Papillion (puh-PIHL’-yuhn) handed up the verdicts Thursday on 57-year-old James Helbert. He’d been charged with two counts of misdemeanor vehicular homicide.

Investigators say Helbert was driving the tow truck Jan. 5 when he crashed into the parked vehicles in the southbound lane to exit U.S. Highway 75 near Bellevue. Killed were 19-year-old Khalil Jones, of Daytona Beach, Florida, and 47-year-old Shamus Dean, of Papillion. They were outside their vehicles.

Police say Jones was an airman stationed at Offutt Air Force Base south of Omaha and say his car had stalled along the highway. Dean had pulled over to help. Two other people in Jones’ vehicle were injured.
