One driver is dead following a car crash near 30th and Kansas in Omaha.

Omaha police tell us Michael McCasland, 71, was driving a Kia northbound on 30th St. when he drifted out of his lane and struck the front end of a Buick sedan.

The impact caused both vehicles to drive into the grass along the south side of Miller Park.

McCasland was transported to CHI Creighton where he was later pronounced dead.

Police believe McCasland had a medical episode prior to the crash. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday.

No one in the Buick was injured.
