Omaha man takes plea deal in felony vehicular homicide

An Omaha man has taken a plea deal on the charges
filed after a southeast Nebraska collision that killed a woman and her
15-year-old stepdaughter.

Otoe County District Court records say 54-year-old Ricky Anthony pleaded no
contest Wednesday to two counts of felony vehicular homicide. Prosecutors
dropped three related charges in exchange for Anthony's pleas. His sentencing is
scheduled for Oct. 21, a year after the fatal crash.

Thirty-two-year-old Rachel Curry and 15-year-old Chloe Curry died after their
pickup truck collided with a sport utility vehicle on U.S. Highway 75 near
Nebraska City. Authorities say it occurred after Anthony's SUV swerved into
oncoming traffic.

Rachel Curry's husband, Michael Curry, was driving the pickup. He was treated
at St. Mary's Hospital in Nebraska City.

Authorities say Anthony received a ride from the crash scene and was later
found in Falls City, where he'd been staying temporarily.
