Nebraska man will not face vehicular homicide charges after fatally hitting a woman
Fox News
A Nebraska man will not be charged with vehicular homicide of a 20-year-old girl. He was driving drunk and speeding but the girl was also drunk and walking in a 'do not cross' area when struck.
Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said in a statement Wednesday that because Van Essen was also drunk and crossing the street against a "do not walk" sign at the time of the crash, he would not be able to prove that Wright’s being drunk was the primary cause of Van Essen’s death.
Instead, Kleine will refer the case to Omaha city prosecutors to consider DUI and other traffic charges against Wright.
