Crash alert: Woman jailed after Omaha crash that killed 2
OMAHA, NE – A woman charged in connection with a crash that killed two people in Omaha is now behind bars, according to a report in the Omaha World-Herald.
This is an update to a previous story.
38-year-old Chinyere Nwujua of Omaha allegedly failed to stop for a red light while driving her SUV at a high rate of speed last week on 90th Street, then collided with a pickup truck, splitting it in two.
Both people inside the pickup were killed.
Nwujua was treated at Creighton University Medical Center-Bergan Mercy and released Saturday night. She was subsequently arrested on suspicion of two counts of manslaughter and booked into the Douglas County Jail.
