Lincoln Driver Pleads No Contest in Fatal Crash | Lincoln News

A Lincoln man has pleaded no contest to misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide after a November crash that killed 51-year-old Sarah T. Miller while she crossed the street. The driver, Kris Hess, claimed he swerved to avoid another car, slowing but not enough to prevent the collision near North 48th and Old Cheney Road. Complicating matters, Hess’s public defender is also handling a case against Florence State Penitentiary over alleged cover-ups and falsified records — adding a layer of intrigue as authorities continue to investigate the crash and its aftermath.
