Police Investigate Deadly West Omaha Crash

The Omaha Police Traffic Unit Accident Investigations Squad says the fatal crash was at Interstate-680 and West Dodge Road.

They say a Ford Explorer driven by 18-year old Jimmy Aaron was westbound on West Dodge to go south on I-680 Wednesday evening when the vehicle left the roadway and rolled several times before coming to rest in a ditch.

Police say a passenger, 16 year old Caden Foster, was thrown from the Explorer.

Omaha Fire paramedics took both of them to a hospital, and Caden Foster was pronounced dead.

Aaron's injuries are not life threatening.

Investigators say speed and seatbelt use are considered factors in the crash, which remains under investigation.
