Four Year Old Critically Hurt In Omaha Crash

Michael Ingram was working on his car Friday afternoon when a car slammed into a mini-van near Military Avenue and Decatur.   

Ingram says after the collision, both vehicles went off the side of the road and took down a road sign and damaged a fence.

In the aftermath of the horrific crash, Ingram says bystanders began helping both drivers out and then someone pulled a four year old boy out of the Ford Focus. "The baby was bloody and someone put him in the car and drove to the hospital."  Police say it was a friend of the boy's mother who took the child to the hospital.

Omaha Police confirm, four year old Zaedyn Olson, went to the hospital with a critical life-threatening head injury.  The drivers of the other two vehicles were transported by ambulance from the scene with serious but non-life threatening injuries.  

Police say prior to the crash, the black Ford Focus was involved in a hit-n-run crash at 40th and Hamilton. Another driver spotted the car and the fresh damage as it sped along Cuming Street and began following it.  The Focus then began going southbound on Military Avenue where it struck the van at Decatur.

The driver of the Focus, Martha Mijak, suffered a head injury.  In all five people were injured.   The investigation is continuing.
