Man booked on Morrill County Motor Vehicle Homicide charges

BRIDGEPORT -- Aldo Hernandez-Meza was booked into Morrill County Jail Saturday, September 20 on two charges of Motor Vehicle Homicide.

The charges stem from a fatal accident that occurred June 14, 2022.

Near mile marker 85 on U.S. Highway 385, Hernandez-Meza was operating a dump truck in a road construction zone when he failed to yield right of way to a passenger vehicle. The collision resulted in the death of two people.

Hernandez-Meza was initially brought to the Morrill County Jail following the incident and later released on bond. He failed to appear for his schedule court hearing and the Morrill County Court issued a warrant was issued for his arrest.

He was recently located and taken into custody in New Jersey. He was booked in Bergen County, N.J., for Simple Assault/Knowingly Causing Bodily Injury, and Fugitive From Justice.

Following extradition proceedings, he was transported back to Nebraska and booked into the Morrill County Jail to stand trial for two counts of Motor Vehicle Homicide.
