Omaha, NE : 17-year-old Tyler Hanson killed in in single-vehicle rollover crash just west of Omaha on Friday, January 30, 2015

A 17-year-old junior at Millard West High School was killed Friday when he lost control of his car near 180th Street and Cornhusker Road.
Tyler Hanson was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 9 p.m., said Lt. Mark Trapp with the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office.
He said the preliminary investigation indicated that Hanson was not wearing a seat belt.
Hanson was heading north on 180th Street, about a quarter-mile north of Cornhusker Road, when he lost control of his 2005 Chevy Cavalier.
The car rolled at least once before Hanson was ejected and then pinned beneath the car, Trapp said.
Gravel on Cornhusker Road might have been a factor in the crash, Trapp said, but without witnesses, “it will never be conclusive as to exactly what happened.”
Two people who live nearby heard the crash and tried to help.
They attempted to pull Hanson from the wreckage before deputies arrived, Trapp said, but they were unsuccessful.
The Omaha police helicopter assisted and determined that there had been no other occupants in the car. Trapp said no other vehicles appear to have been involved, but “that will never be conclusive.”
A Millard Public Schools spokeswoman said a crisis team will be available on Monday at Millard West.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Tyler’s family during this incredibly difficult time,” Millard West Principal Greg Tiemann said in a prepared statement. “Tyler’s teachers enjoyed having him in class. They especially noted how friendly he was with his classmates and how he made others laugh. He will be greatly missed.”
On Saturday, friends remembered Hanson on Twitter. “Rest in peace Tyler Hanson, you always had a smile on your face man, you will be missed,” one friend wrote.
