OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police in Omaha say a drunk driver faces charges for a two-vehicle crash before dawn Friday that killed the other driver.

Police said the crash happened around 4 a.m. Friday, as two eastbound cars entered an intersection and sideswiped each other.

Police said one car, a Toyota, then hit a concrete wall at a bus stop and flipped onto its roof.

The other car, a Chevrolet, launched over the median and also came to rest on its roof.

Police said the driver of the Toyota, 63-year-old James Yungbluth of Waterloo, died at the scene.

Police said the 28-year-old driver of the Chevy was taken to a hospital with serious injuries and will face charges in the case.
