Neb. Teen Pleads No Contest in Fatal Car Crash

fatal-accident(AP) — A 16-year-old Nebraska girl has pleaded no contest to motor vehicle homicide in connection to an October crash that killed another teenager.

The girl also entered the plea Friday in Sarpy County juvenile court to a charge of failure to yield. A violation of a provisional operator’s permit charge was dismissed.

The Associated Press generally does not name juveniles charged with crimes.

The girl was driving a Jeep on Oct. 11 when it collided with a pickup truck. A passenger in the teen’s car, 15-year-old Nathaniel LaFave, was killed. The girl and another passenger in the Jeep were critically injured but survived.

A disposition hearing, which is similar to a sentencing, is scheduled on Feb. 28.
