The Omaha Police Department said patrol officers and Douglas County Sheriff deputies responded to 192nd Street and F Street after the crash was reported shortly before 11 p.m. The initial investigation showed that the driver of a Ford F-250 pickup truck entered the intersection and collided with a Nissan Armada SUV headed south. Both vehicles ended up on the southeast corner of the intersection and the Nissan went up in flames.
