Wrong way driver sentenced to probation

NEBRASKA CITY- David Haldeman, 64, of Lincoln was sentenced to three years of probation, a $1,000 fine and five years license revocation for DUI causing injury on Nov. 25, 2024

Court records say Haldeman was driving in an apparent head-on collision on Highway 2 that seriously injured Stacie Higgins of Nebraska City.

Haldeman told investigators he thought he was heading to Lincoln from Auburn. He was actually in the eastbound lane headed away from Lincoln.
