OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) -- 8:50 P.M. – Traffic was backing up Friday night in the southbound lanes of Highway 75, which were closed while Nebraska State Patrol investigated a crash involving a trooper near L Street. The trooper was rear-ended but was not hurt in the crash, according to an NSP tweet.
A trooper’s cruiser was struck tonight in Omaha while he was responding to another crash.
Thankfully the Trooper was not in the vehicle at the time and is unharmed.
Please slow down when conditions are like this. It could prevent a tragedy. #ThinBlueLine pic.twitter.com/Si6MjKAF1V

Thankfully our trooper was unharmed as he was outside the unit responding to the first crash.
The cruiser can be replaced, the trooper/husband/father cannot.
Please keep that in mind as you approach a crash scene where first responders are working.#SlowDown #MoveOver https://t.co/WAZegVSk90
