Fatal Crash on Old Cheney Road

A tragic crash on Old Cheney Road west of Lincoln took the life of a 24-year-old woman, with police pointing to a semi-truck failing to yield during a left turn as a key factor. The truck driver, a 42-year-old Omaha resident, suffered no injuries. Investigators are still probing whether speed, alcohol, or distraction contributed — and whether the victim was en route home. The accident has caused major traffic delays in southwest Lincoln. Meanwhile, city crews push forward with Project O Street downtown, replacing century-old water mains funded by increased sales tax revenue — as officials continue to piece together the heartbreaking details of that fatal night.
