OMAHA, Neb. [KETV] — A Judge in Douglas County, Nebraska has allowed a western Iowa man charged in a fatal July 11th crash, to be released on bond. 22-year-old Christian Stephens, of Earling, will be allowed to live nearly an hour away in rural Iowa while he faces charges. His attorney also requested continuous alcohol monitoring, meaning he’ll report to Omaha twice daily for tests.

The crash occurred at around 2:10-a.m. on July 11th, on westbound I-480 near 14th Street in Omaha. Police said their preliminary investigation revealed a pickup driven by Stephens was traveling the wrong direction on I-480 when it struck a car nearly head-on. The impact caused the car to catch fire.

Stephens posted 10% of a One-million-dollar bond and was released from jail. Prosecutors charged Stephens with two counts of motor vehicle homicide for the deaths of 21-year-old Nicholas “Nico” Humbert and 15-year-old Adrianna Estrada.

He’s also charged with three more counts of DUI causing serious injury — to two teenage girls in the Buick Sedan he’s accused of crashing into, and a passenger in his Ford pickup.
