Lincoln police say woman killed in crash of stolen car

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a woman died when the car she was driving rammed into a pole in northeast Lincoln.

Firefighters responding to a 911 report found the crash scene around 4:15 a.m. Friday. Lincoln Police Capt. Ben Kopsa says the eastbound car went out of control and ran off the roadway before striking the pole. Police suspect speeding is a factor in the crash.

The woman’s name hasn’t been released.

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