LINCOLN - Police have determined speed was a factor in a downtown Lincoln crash that sent three men to the hospital early Thursday morning. Investigators said alcohol use is suspected but has not been confirmed.

Officers were on a nearby call when they heard the crash at Centennial Mall and O Street, just outside Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe, around 2:30 a.m. Thursday.

According to police, a Nissan SUV and a Chevy Tahoe were both eastbound on O Street when they collided near 14th Street. Lincoln Police said the crash caused the Tahoe to roll.

One man was trapped inside an SUV and had to be extracted by first responders.

Police said one man from the Chevy and two men from the Nissan were taken to the hospital. All three men have minor injuries.
