Nebraska teen, 14, killed, 5 others injured in Blair car crash

14-year-old Heidy Martinez of Blair was killed in a rural car crash Friday morning, according to the World Herald. The crash, which occurred on a Washington County farm field road north of Omaha, left 5 others injured, all aged 13 or 14. 

Sheriff’s officials say Martinez lost control of the vehicle, entered a corn field on the east side and rolled. Only one occupant was wearing a seat belt. Martinez was thrown from the sport utility vehicle and died at the scene. The five other teens, whose names have not yet been released, were all hospitalized – two taken by helicopter to an Omaha hospital.

The crash comes less than three weeks after four teenage girls from Gretna were killed in a single-vehicle crash, leaving one survivor. She was released from the hospital this week.
