2nd boy dies in crash that split car in two; suspect remains in jail
Key Points:
- Two brothers, aged 5 and 10, died following a crash caused by an allegedly intoxicated driver, Tanner Hunt, 28, in Omaha, Nebraska.
- Hunt was driving at excessive speeds, reportedly 98 MPH just before the collision, and struck a Subaru carrying the children and two adults, splitting the vehicle in half.
- Hunt faces charges of motor vehicle homicide and DUI causing serious bodily injury and is held on a $10 million bond; his preliminary hearing is scheduled for August 17.
- Prior to the crash, Hunt was already out on bond for a previous DUI arrest from April 3, and he refused to provide blood and urine samples after the latest incident.
- At the hospital, Hunt’s blood alcohol content was .095, and he admitted to taking Adderall earlier that day; he remains hospitalized with critical injuries.
