A 47-year-old woman died and a 47-year-old man was in critical condition after a single-car accident Friday night.
The accident occurred at the intersection of Cornhusker Highway and 14th Street at about 8:15 p.m., police said.
Lincoln Police said a Ford Expedition was heading east on Cornhusker Highway and took the 14th Street exit ramp. Witnesses told police the vehicle was speeding.
The SUV hit a stop sign at 14th Street before rolling and striking a utility pole on the east side of 14th, according to police.
Both the female passenger and male driver were taken to Bryan West Campus. The woman was pronounced dead at the hospital and the man was in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
Police say the investigation into the crash is ongoing and that the names of the victims would probably not be released until Monday.
