Not the First Late-Night Crash Near Blondo Street
This is not the only overnight crash reported along Blondo Street in recent months. Back in September, a separate overnight crash in West Omaha left two people hurt, according to a WOWT report on that incident. In that case, officers were dispatched to a crash near 120th and Blondo streets at about 12:30 a.m. Thursday — several miles west of Wednesday night's collision.
