High school siblings die when their car hydroplanes into traffic, NE cops say
High school siblings, including one who was days away from his graduation, were killed in a crash when their vehicle hydroplaned into oncoming traffic, Nebraska authorities 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.
