LINCOLN–(KFOR Sept. 10)–Lincoln Police are investigating a deadly crash from late Monday night in the area of Highway 77 and West Van Dorn.

Lt. Jason Goodwin tells KFOR News that truck left the road and rolled into a ditch, into a nearby creek off of South Folsom Street and West Prospector Circle. It’s not exactly clear yet what led to the crash, but there’s suspicion that a witness may have seen the truck going at a high-rate of speed than the posted speed limit.

Another collision happened late Monday night at South Folsom and West “A” Street, where a vehicle lost control hit a parked car in a driveway, fences and a power pole at a high-rate of speed. No other details were available from LPD, as that investigation is ongoing.
