A man was killed Thursday evening following a Northwest Omaha crash.

Officers responded to 153rd and Blondo around 6:30 p.m.

Investigators believe 22-year-old Jenna Gouger was driving her car south on 153rd, when she turned onto Blondo and was hit by a Chevy Blazer.

Officials say the Blazer was driven by 66-year-old John Turner.

The Blazer flew off the road, hit a fence and landed in a ditch.

Authorities say Turner died at the scene and was not wearing a seatbelt. 

Gouge was reported to have no injuries.

Officials added speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors.

The cause is under investigation.
