TL;DR Summary

Omaha Public Works changed the signal timing at the 114th Street and West Center Road intersection after a July crash killed two children, making left turns on West Center Road fully protected and removing a flashing yellow left-turn signal; officials will monitor and adjust timing as needed. The crash involved a Subaru turning into an eastbound Chevrolet Malibu, killing 10-year-old Prestin Strassenburg and 5-year-old Zaiden Strassenburg. Driver Tanner Hunt faces two counts of motor vehicle homicide while driving under the influence, having been traveling about 98 mph with a BAC of 0.095. A memorial has been set up at the intersection, and officials urge slower driving and avoiding alcohol.
