Dump truck driver sentenced to probation for fatal crash

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A judge has sentenced a dump truck driver who caused a fatal crash last year to two years’ probation.

59-year-old Ronald Nootz was sentenced Thursday for misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide for the July 22 crash in west Omaha that killed 76-year-old Noel Lammers.

Investigators say Nootz ran a red light, causing the crash.

Nootz was also ordered Thursday to complete 200 hours of community service.
