OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Officers responded to a crash on 76th and Military Ave. Monday afternoon involving three vehicles.
Around 2:38 p.m., officers responded to the scene of the crash.
Investigation shows a 2015 Toyota Rav4, driven by 31-year-old Klue Taw, was heading westbound on Military when it left the roadway, crossed a raised median and struck a 1992 Ford Mustang going eastbound, driven by 21-year-old Stephen Bentley.
The force of the impact made the Ford spin, which led to the vehicle striking a 2005 Toyota Prius, driven by 59-year-old Rennetla Epperson, which was also traveling eastbound. The Prius was also occupied by a passenger, 61-year-old Annie McKinney. Neither occupants of the Prius were wearing a seat belt.
The Prius turned in a wide arc and eventually came to a stop in a tree line on the property of Mt. Hope Cemetery.
Taw, the Rav4 driver, showed signs of being impaired. He was taken uninjured to Omaha Police Headquarters and cited for a DUI and careless driving.
Bentley, the Ford driver, is being treated for a fractured arm and head laceration.
The driver of the Prius, Epperson, was treated for a fractured neck and cited for driving during suspension and no seat belt. The passenger, McKinney, was treated for a fractured wrist.
Military Ave. was closed in both directions for a time following the crash. The roadway opened back up around 5:30 p.m.
