OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A man has been arrested in connection with a car crash in Omaha that killed a teenage girl.
The Omaha World-Herald reports 28-year-old Tyvinn Smith is charged with suspicion of felony motor vehicle homicide, willful reckless driving and operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license.
He is accused of causing a collision that killed 16-year-old Janis Brown around 10:45 p.m. Friday.
Authorities say minutes before the crash, Smith was involved in another collision and fled. They say he then rear-ended the car in which Janis was a passenger.
The driver and a 4-year-old boy were taken to the hospital for injuries that weren't life-threatening.
Smith was treated for minor injuries before he was taken to jail Sunday. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney who could comment on his behalf.
