A 19-year old Lincoln man was killed in a two vehicle crash at 70th & Holdrege about 8:40 Monday night. LPD says 19-year-old Kolby Elliott was driving his Nissan Maxima north on 70th Street approaching Holdrege Street.
82-year-old George Skorohod was on 70th Street in a pickup facing south in the left turn lane, waiting to turn left onto Holdrege Street. Sergeant Chris Vigil says witnesses told officers that Elliott drove into the intersection at a high rate of speed and veered into the oncoming southbound lanes, and struck Skorohod’s vehicle.
Elliott was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries and eventually died of his injuries at 10:37 p.m. The investigation is ongoing.
