(Omaha, NE – KETV) The Douglas County (Nebraska) Sheriff’s Office is finished with its investigation except for the final toxicology report for the crash that killed a 24-year-old Iowa woman in September. According to investigators, Abby Olberding, of Omaha, and formerly of Carroll, Iowa, died on Sept. 13 when a Jeep crossed the center line and hit her Impala, sending it into a ditch near 267th and West Center Road. The other driver is recovering from her injuries and is in stable condition.

According to court documents, the driver of the Jeep was not properly restrained at the time of the crash. Authorities pronounced Olberding dead at the scene and said the other driver was ejected through a glass roof, where she had a broken pelvis, among other injuries.

The Douglas County Attorney’s Office is waiting for the final toxicology report, at which time the DCSO will present its findings from the investigation. The attorney’s office will then determine whether charges will be made.
