Crash alert: Authorities say driver went 94 mph before crash
OMAHA, NE – Authorities say the driver involved in a crash that killed two people in Omaha was going 94 mph just before the deadly accident, the Omaha World-Herald reported.
This is an update to a previous story.
38-year-old Chinyere Nwuju of Omaha is charged with two counts of manslaughter in connection with the collision at 90th and Maple Streets June 23rd. She was driving a Dodge Nitro when authorities say she ran a red light and collided with a pickup truck, killing two people inside the truck.
A prosecutor said Nwuju did not use the brakes just before the crash, and added that her urine tested positive for PCP when she was taken to the hospital.
