Investigators are still trying to determine what led to a one vehicle crash that killed six people around 2:20 Sunday morning near 56th and Randolph Streets. Captain Todd Kocian says officers responded to a 911 call from an iPhone recording indicating the owner of the phone was in a severe crash and was not responding to their phone.
When officers arrived they found that a black Honda Accord had been eastbound near the intersection. Preliminary reports indicate it crossed the roadway and struck a tree in a yard on the north side of Randolph Street.
Police say five men died at the scene. The driver is identified as 26 year old Johnathan Kurth of Lincoln. The passengers, all in their 20’s, are identified as Octavius Farr, Cassie Brenner, Nicholas Bisesi and Jonathan Koch of Lincoln and Benjamin Lenagh of Omaha.
LPD is asking anyone with information, including video evidence, to call their non-emergency number at 402-441-6000 or Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
