OMAHA, Nebraska (KETV) — A 19-year-old man died in an early Tuesday morning crash near Ralston High School.

Around 12:30 a.m., officers responded to the crash near Meadows Road and Park Drive after his iPhone alerted 911, according to Omaha police.

Authorities said the driver, identified as Shane Foote, died after colliding with a tree just west of Ralston High School.

Firefighters had to cut Foote out of his vehicle on the scene. He was transported by paramedics to the hospital in critical condition.

Authorities said speed and seatbelt use are factors in what led up to the crash — the investigation is ongoing.
