Woman charged in fatal Bellevue crash that killed two people
The Sarpy County Sheriff's Office said they've charged a woman in the fatal Bellevue crash that killed two people, and injured four others.
33-year-old Maria Diaz-Castelan sped through a red light at the intersection of Fort Crook and Cornhusker roads.
She struck two vehicles — 30-year-old Victor Munoz and 23-year-old Kirsten Fritz died, while three others were injured.
Investigators believe a deadly combination of speed and alcohol were factors in the crash.
Law enforcement said the 33-year-old is facing multiple felony charges, including two counts of reckless/willful motor vehicle homicide and two counts of motor vehicle homicide while driving under the influence.
"These types of crashes are preventable with safe driving. No measure of justice will bring the victims back. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims," Sarpy County Attorney Chief Deputy Bonnie Moore said.
