Official says 14-year-old girl died in crash of stolen car

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln school administrator says a 14-year-old girl has died in an early morning crash of a stolen car.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports the crash happened just after 4 a.m. Friday when a car rammed into a pole in northeast Lincoln, killing the driver.

Later Friday, Lincoln High School Principal Mark Larson sent a letter to parents identifying the driver as 14-year-old Kaydance Potter, a ninth grader at the school.

Officials made a crisis response team available to students Friday, and the team planned to return to the school Monday.

The car is believed to have been stolen April 15 from a driveway in southeast Lincoln.
