The Lincoln Police Department is investigating a fatal crash that occurred at 37th & O Street on Saturday, July 2, 2022, at 9:26 p.m. The investigation determined a gray Ford was traveling westbound on O Street when it crossed the center median and struck a gray Subaru traveling eastbound in the inside traffic lane. The collision pushed the Subaru into a second eastbound vehicle, a white Chrysler.
