LINCOLN–(KFOR Sept. 18)–The general area of where the car driven by Nebraska volleyball player Lindsay Krause was rear-ended last Wednesday west of 48th and “O” typically sees a lot of crashes because the three-lane westbound traffic starts to merge down to two lanes.

Krause’s car suffered $2,500 damage and she sat out Sunday’s match against Kentucky because of the injuries.

Sgt. Vollmer says investigators are looking over security video in the area for the suspect vehicle.
