Lincoln, NE (May 13, 2025) – A tragic head-on collision occurred on Monday, May 12, near 162nd and O Streets in Lancaster County, Nebraska, resulting in one fatality. The crash took place around 12:28 PM when a Ford Focus traveling eastbound on O Street collided head-on with a white SUV traveling westbound.

According to Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office (LSO) Chief Deputy Ben Houchin, the Ford Focus sustained heavy front-end damage, while the SUV ended up in a nearby ditch. The male driver of the Ford Focus was transported to the hospital in critical condition, where he later died from his injuries.
