Driver involved in deadly Nebraska parade crash tests positive for marijuana, only has learner’s permit

Key Facts

One of the drivers involved in a deadly crash that killed two women and injured more than a dozen people as they watched a parade of classic cars zip down a Nebraska street has not yet obtained his license.
Police said he was behind the wheel of a black Ford Taurus when it slammed into a white Toyota Corolla traveling in the opposite direction late Sunday night.
The impact of the collision sent both vehicles careening into crowds of people, all of them gathered together to watch “Americruise,” an annual event held as part of the capital city’s Memorial Day festivities.
The affair, a tradition in Lincoln since the early 90s, allows for motorists and vehicle enthusiasts to show off their classic cars by “cruising” in front of groups of people along O Street.
