The Lincoln Police Department is investigating a fatal hit and run crash that occurred at 37th & O Street on Saturday, July 2, 2022. A gray Ford Focus was traveling westbound on O Street when it crossed the center median and struck a silver Subaru Forrester traveling eastbound in the inside traffic lane. The collision pushed the Subaru into a second eastbound vehicle, a white Chrysler. The two occupants of the Chrysler were treated at the scene and released.

The driver of the Subaru, 19 year old Alexandor Eskra, was transported to the hospital where he died from his injuries. We would like to extend our condolences to Alexandor's family and friends. We would ask all to respect their privacy during this difficult time.

The driver of the Ford Focus left the scene on foot shortly after the crash occurred. Investigators have video of this suspect and are still working to locate him as the investigation continues.

The Lincoln Police Department urges anyone who witnessed this crash or may know the whereabouts of the suspect to come forward with the information they may have, including video or photographic evidence, and to call our non-emergency number 402-441-6000 or Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
