High school siblings die when their car hydroplanes into traffic, NE cops say
Karwan Breem, 18, was driving a Cadillac ATS on Monday, June 30, when he began to speed past two other drivers, the Lincoln Police Department said. His younger sister, Karolin Breem, was a passenger in the car.
'He hydroplaned on the wet road, drove up onto the curb, then lost control, spinning and sliding across into the southbound lane, colliding with a blue 2017 Nissan Frontier pickup truck,' police said.
The Breem siblings were taken to a hospital, where they were pronounced dead, according to a July 1 news release.
Police said the 19-year-old truck driver was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.
The siblings attended North Star High School, officials told KOLN. Karwan Breem was attending summer school and was set to graduate the week of the crash.
Mohsin Dinaii, who appears to have known the victims, said in a Facebook post the siblings were driving home from summer class at the time of the incident.
'Nothing can ever fill the void this tragedy has left in our lives — my wife, our youngest child, and I are devastated beyond words,' their father, Luqman Breem Siso, said in a GoFundMe.

Two to tango: Dancer claims rep was ruined by NYC shrink who accused him of spiking drink
It takes two to tango but apparently just one after-party to ruin a reputation. A suburban Seattle man and tango enthusiast claims a gin-soaked late-night gathering at a California Airbnb with his fellow dance lovers left him shunned when one later accused him of spiking the drinks. Eduard Koller showed up at a small gathering after the March 2023 Southern California Tango Festival with tequila and 'a gin-based cocktail' in hand, according to a lawsuit. The party broke up without incident and Koller, 55, took an Uber back to his hotel along with four of his party guests. Eduard Koller claims he was never alone with his accuser and never spiked anyone's drink. Eduard Koller/Facebook But a year later, Koller claims he was barred from a tango marathon in Massachusetts because the co-organizer believed he'd been 'inappropriate,' he said in Manhattan Supreme Court papers. James Oh allegedly told the Redmond, Wash. man only that he'd received 'multiple credible claims of inappropriate and harmful behaviors by you. And I'm not comfortable letting you be part of any event I'm organizing or co-organizing,' according to the litigation. Nimroody and Koller only met three times, he said in court papers. Tehela Nimroody /Facebook Koller later learned Upper East Side psychologist Tehela Nimroody had accused him of tampering with her beverage during the California after-party, he said in legal papers. The pair were not alone during the party in question and 'did not share any other type of relationship or interactions' aside from meeting at three tango events between 2022 and 2024, Koller claimed. Nimroody allegedly ignored a Facebook message Koller sent seeking to clarify her claim, he noted. Koller is seeking unspecified damages and wants a court order barring Oh and Nimroody from posting any 'defamatory and injurious content' about him. Oh declined comment on the litigation. Nimroody did not respond to messages.

Legendary Surfer's Son Breathing on His Own After Being ‘Pinned' Between 2 Cars in Accident That Left Him with ‘Unthinkable Injuries'
Dakota Briley, son of legendary surfer Shawn Briley, was pinned between two vehicles and suffered multiple injuries when he was struck by a car on Saturday, June 14, in Hawaii A GoFundMe update stated that Dakota is continuing to make progress in his recovery While he doesn't have feeling in his lower body, Dakota is now breathing on his own and has opened his eyesThe family of Dakota Briley, the son of famed Pipeline surfer Shawn Briley, provided a hopeful update on their loved one's condition after he was hit by a car on the side of a highway in Hawaii and hospitalized last month. "We can do nothing else but remain optimistic and hopeful, and full of prayer that this will heal, and he will be able to surf again," Dakota's sister Erin Lau said in a Tuesday, July 1, interview with ABC affiliate KGTV. The incident occurred on June 14, on Kamehameha Highway on Oahu's North Shore, where Dakota, 20, was trapped between two vehicles and suffered multiple injuries, said the organizer of a GoFundMe that has already raised nearly $250,000 to support Dakota's recovery. Dakota had returned home for summer break from Point Loma Nazarene University when he was struck, KGTV reported. Lau said her brother was about to give a surf lesson on the North Shore of Oahu when the tragedy happened. 'He was actually on the side of the road, waxing a board for his next surf lesson when a car veered across the opposite lane and hit him on the side of the road, pinning him to the other vehicle," Lau told the outlet. KGTV reported that an 18-year-old was operating the vehicle involved in the incident and is not facing charges. PEOPLE has contacted the Honolulu Police Department for information. The GoFundMe organizers wrote on the fundraiser description that Dakota sustained 'multiple fractures in his legs, pelvis, ribs, and skull. His spine has also endured unthinkable injuries' — adding that the surfer was fighting for his life in the ICU. A June 27 update posted to the GoFundMe shared that Dakota is continuing to make progress in his recovery, stating he was moved from the ICU to the trauma floor of the hospital. 'He has opened his eyes a few times, moved his right thumb and moved his left arm (responds to commands),' the update read. KGTV reported that Dakota was placed in a medically induced coma this past weekend and is in critical but stable condition. Both Lau and the GoFundMe said that Dakota's spine was damaged but not severed. She said the effect of the head trauma is uncertain. Additionally, she told KGTV, "Right now, according to tests, he doesn't have feeling in his lower body." At the moment, Dakota has been able to breathe on his own. "There has been an outpouring of love," Lau said, per KGTV.
