LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - A Lancaster County bridge is suspected to have between $100,000 to $200,000 in damage after three teens disregarded construction signs to get coffee on Friday.

Deputies with the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office were called to a south Lincoln crash that occurred on a bridge under construction near 1st Street and Old Cheney Road around 9:30 p.m.

LSO Chief Deputy Ben Houchin said drivers of three vehicles disregarded road closed signs and drove onto a bridge that had uncured cement.

The first vehicle, an Audi A4 driven by a 15-year-old girl, continued on the bridge and stopped when the driver noticed construction equipment.

An 18-year-old boy driving an Audi S4 was able to stop his vehicle, avoiding a collision with the Audi A4. The third driver of a Chevy Cruz that was behind the S4 was unable to stop in time and crashed into the Audi A4, Houchin said.

Houchin said the three teens knew each other and admitted to disregarding the construction signs because they wanted to get Scooters Coffee in downtown Lincoln.

The 15-year-old only had a School Learners Permit and should not have been driving, according to Houchin.

The Audi S4 was left on the bridge and will continue to stay there until Lancaster County Engineer Pam Dingman can inspect the bridge.

“We also did not want to get a tow truck up there and do anymore damage,” Houchin said.

No one was injured in the crash.

All three teens received traffic-related citations.

The bridge repairs were scheduled to be completed by early June. It’s unclear if those plans have changed.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Thursday morning, the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office released more details on the arrest of a Norris School District bus driver.

Betty Johnson, 67, is facing charges of felony child abuse and a first offense of a .15+ DUI after driving a school bus under the influence of alcohol on Wednesday, according to LSO.

Johnson drove two routes for the district, a regular one, and one for special education students. She has since been fired from her position.

LSO says at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Norris school staff contacted the School Resource Officer to alert him about Johnson’s possible intoxication. The officer noticed that Johnson was highly intoxicated and administered a breath test, which she failed.

Johnson was arrested and taken to jail where she tested a .22 BAC, according to LSO. That day, she drove the morning bus route with 40 children, a noon bus route and was supposed to drive the after-school bus route.

“I’m sure the parents of these children are probably very concerned. Again, we are very lucky that she got caught and was not allowed to do that after school one.” said Chief Deputy Ben Houchin, Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office. “I‘ve never heard of a school bus driver being intoxicated, let alone this high.”

LSO says Johnson admitted to drinking prior to her noon bus route. They are unsure how long she had worked for the district.

The Norris School District issued the following statement regarding Johnson’s arrest:

“Yesterday afternoon, we received a concern about one of our bus drivers. After learning of this concern, we immediately investigated the situation and suspected the driver of being impaired. We then contacted our School Resource Officer to ensure the safety of our students. The driver was terminated and will not drive for our school district ever again. We want to emphasize that student safety is our number one priority and we thank the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office for their continued partnership with us to keep our students safe. Any parent with questions or concerns is always encouraged to contact the district office directly.”

Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird today announced that Building and Safety Director Chad Blahak has accepted the position of Project Assurance Leader at Olsson. Blahak’s last day with the City will be Friday, June 27. The administration will begin the search for a new Building and Safety Director in the coming months.

“Chad has played a vital role in shaping Lincoln’s growth and development during a time of increased demand for housing and commercial construction,” Mayor Gaylor Baird said. "His leadership helped modernize our permitting processes and improve customer service for residents and builders. We thank him for his years of dedicated public service and wish him continued success in his next chapter.”

Blahak is a licensed professional engineer who started working for the Public Works and Utilities Department in 2002. He was named interim director in 2014 and became director in 2015, succeeding Fred Hoke, who retired.

“I greatly appreciate the opportunity that Mayor Leirion has given me these past six years to continue serving the residents of Lincoln as the Building and Safety director. I have truly enjoyed my career with the City, starting with my time at Public Works, and later with Building and Safety,” Blahak said. “It has been a privilege serving the Lincoln community while working with so many wonderful and talented people. I am excited for the opportunity to return to Olsson, where I started my professional career – I look forward to supporting the growth of this Lincoln based national firm.”

Before joining the City, Blahak was an engineer for Olsson. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

The Building and Safety Department is responsible for ensuring that all construction, renovation, and occupancy of buildings within Lincoln meet established safety codes and regulations. The department employs about 60 staff who review construction plans, issue permits, and perform inspections.

The department also includes housing inspectors who assess residential properties for habitability and code compliance, as well as fire inspectors and investigators who evaluate fire safety measures, investigate fire incidents, and work to prevent future fire related hazards. Together, these teams help maintain safe, livable environments for Lincoln’s residents and businesses.

The Building and Safety Department is also a part of the Development Services Center, which works with Lincoln and Lancaster County agencies – Health, Planning, Transportation and Utilities, and Urban Development – to streamline the land development process as well as to promote a safe community for the residents of Lincoln and Lancaster County.
