LPD: Lancaster County deputy crashes cruiser in northwest Lincoln

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A deputy with the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office crashed his cruiser in northwest Lincoln on Sunday, police say.

Just after 10:15 a.m., the deputy was driving his cruiser north on Northwest 48th Street and turned west onto Adams Street.

According to the deputy, he did not see a 1999 Honda Civic — driven by a 67-year-old Lincoln woman — going south on Northwest 48th Street.

Investigators with the Lincoln Police Department said the deputy turned in front of the woman and the two collided in the intersection.

LPD said the woman was not taken to the hospital, but later went on her own to get checked out for back pain.

No citations have been given at this time.
