Two 1-year-old children were seated in child safety seats inside the F150 at the time.A total of seven occupants between the three involved vehicles were transported to Omaha hospitals for treatment. Only Izarraraz is in critical condition, according to a news release from the Omaha Police Department."It does appear that all three were traveling eastbound prior to contact," said Chuck Casey, of the Omaha Police Department. "They ended up in different directions. We are going to try to talk to witnesses to confirm anything before the investigation is complete."Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in this accident.Cars collided within earshot of South Omaha City Councilman Garry Gernandt Thursday. When Gernandt arrived, he found people needing quick medical attention."(I heard) bloodcurdling screams, 'Get me out of here, get me out of here. Help! Having a hard time breathing.' Those types of things," Gernandt said.When he's not approving liquor licenses or changing city codes, Gernandt isn't afraid to help people in trouble."The ones in the Escalade were screaming for help," Gernandt said.The retired Omaha Police sergeant wasn't the only one who reacted to the urgent plea."Probably four or five young men came over and we started to pull the roof that had collapsed on top of the occupants, try to get away to relieve some of that pressure," Gernandt said. "It was a little chaotic, but I have to admit people wanted to help and get those folks out of there. I am proud of South Omaha. They came to the rescue."
