LINCOLN, Neb.- A Lincoln woman has been announced dead after being struck by a vehicle.

Police say 56-year-old Jody Lund of Lincoln passed away on Friday after being hit on Pioneers Bvld. while crossing a crosswalk in Lincoln on Christmas Eve.

Authorities say Lund was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, including a brain bleed.

A press release identified the driver as 23-year-old Haileigh Kapke of Lincoln.

Investigators say the crash will now be investigated as a Motor Vehicle Homicide. The Lancaster County Attorney’s Office has agreed to postpone the citation written last week to Kapke for Failure to Yield to allow for further investigative efforts.
