OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — A female driver with three children ages 7, 8 and 10 were all killed in a three-vehicle crash on Highway 30 just west of Fremont on Saturday, according to the Dodge County Sheriff's Office.
A sheriff tells KMTV 3 News Now fog was not a factor in the crash that happened around 6 p.m.
The crash happened when a driver in a Ford Mustang was attempting to turn left onto Westlake Mobile Home Park from Highway 30. That driver was struck from behind by a Dodge Ram pick-up truck. The collision sent the Dodge Ram into the westbound lane, colliding head on with a Ford Taurus driven by the 32-year-old female with three children.
The female driver was not wearing a seatbelt. All children were sitting in the back, one was not wearing a seatbelt.
The four inside the Ford Taurus were pronounced dead at the scene. The Sheriff's Office is withholding names pending notification of family.
The driver of the Ford, 16-year-old Jack Ford, and two male passengers were taken to Methodist Fremont Health. The driver of the Dodge, 33-year-old German Lopez Saenz was also taken to Methodist Fremont Health and later Nebraska Medicine.
The Sheriff's Office says alcohol is not believed to be a factor.
