OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Winter weather dumped up to 7 inches of snow in parts of eastern Nebraska and caused a car crash on Saturday morning that killed two people and injured two others.
Snow fell overnight in parts of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes, western Kansas, passing through Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Michigan Peninsula.
National Weather Services reported 7 inches of snow in Crofton and Verdigre in northeastern Nebraska. Just over an inch fell in parts of Omaha, while the figure was under an inch in Lincoln, according to the Weather Service.
Outside the small town of Mead, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) west of Omaha, winter conditions were the cause of a fatal accident, the Saunders County Sheriff said.
Sheriff Kevin Stukenholtz told KETV that the driver of a car lost control on US Highway 77 due to ice and snow on the road and was struck on the passenger side by a pickup truck.
The two people inside the car died instantly. Two people inside the pickup were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Stukenholtz said everyone wears seat belts. The names of the victims were not released until their families were informed.
