Lincoln Police are investigating a deadly crash that happened at 20th and Nebraska Parkway around 2:00 Monday afternoon. LPD Public Information Manager Erika Thomas says the preliminary investigation indicates a white pickup truck was westbound on Nebraska Parkway when a maroon sedan on 20th Street tried to turn eastbound onto Nebraska Parkway.
The pickup slammed into the driver’s side of the car in the intersection. “Lincoln Fire & Rescue took both drivers to a local hospital. The driver of the sedan later died from their injuries. The driver of the pickup truck is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries,” Thomas says. The name of the person killed will be released after LPD notifies family members.
