OMAHA, NE – On Thursday, Oct 8, 2009 at about 12:45 pm, a semi truck collided with a small passenger car on eastbound Interstate 80 just west of the 60th Street off ramp. The driver of the passenger car, a 2001 Dodge Neon, was killed in the semi truck accident. The deceased driver has been identified as Andrea M. Kersigo, 26 years old, from Omaha, Nebraska. No other injuries were reported. The only person in the Neon was the driver, Kersigo.

Watch video:

 
The crash occurred when Kersigo was moving to take the 60th Street exit but then appeared to change her mind and veered back onto the Interstate into the path of the oncoming semi truck. It appears Kersigo overcorrected then cut across several lanes of traffic when she collided with the big rig. The semi truck hit the driver’s side door of the Neon, crushing the vehicle under the semi’s cab. Witnesses at the scene described it as horrible.

The semi truck accident caused traffic to be backed up in both directions on the I-80. Motorists took detours to avoid the traffic jam, but the detours also became slow due to the heavy traffic.
