The Nebraska State Patrol is heartbroken to
announce that a Nebraska State Trooper has been killed in the line of duty today.
A motor vehicle crash occurred while the trooper and others were responding to
another crash on Interstate 80 between Ashland and Greenwood. The name of the
trooper will be released when appropriate.
NSP has asked the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office to conduct the crash investigation.
As winter weather conditions continue across the state, NSP urges all motorists to
be safe if they must travel. I-80 remains closed between mile markers 420 and 426 at
this time.
Additional information will be released when possible.
