A 60-year-old Omaha man died after the car he was driving was struck nearly head-on Sunday evening by an SUV speeding eastbound in the westbound lanes of L Street near 36th Street, Omaha police said.

Paramedics worked to resuscitate the man, identified as Carl E. Gauff, on the way to the Nebraska Medical Center, but he died at the hospital, Omaha Police Sgt. Doug Klein said.
Gauff's 15-year-old grandson, Dontae S. Chavez, also was injured in the crash and taken by ambulance to the hospital. He was listed in good condition Monday morning.

The driver of the SUV, 39-year-old David Moshawosh Hadi of Omaha, was treated at the hospital after complaining of chest pain and was arrested on suspicion of felony motor vehicle homicide, driving under the influence of alcohol causing death or serious bodily injury and willful reckless driving, Klein said.

The collision occurred just before 8 p.m. Gauff had been driving a 2011 Hyundai Sonata west on L when the car collided with a 2000 Ford Expedition driven by Hadi, Klein said.
