Omaha, NE - Investigators believe speed and alcohol are to blame for a deadly crash early this morning.  Police were called to 208th & W. Dodge Road around 1:15 a.m.

A witness told officers the driver of a gold 2004 Saturn was driving in an aggressive manner, making multiple lane changes and speeding.

The driver changed lanes, lost control and left the roadway, going into the grassy median, then rolled several times eventually coming to rest back in the median.  

Paramedics took one person to the hospital, 19 year-old Colby M. Burke, with a broken pelvis and a head injury.  The other man, died on the scene. That man's name has not yet been released. Neither were wearing seat belts.
