The abrupt and awful death of 35-year-old Jessica Carlson-Riesland of Carter Lake has left the community in a state of tremendous anguish and shock. Sadly, a single-vehicle collision on the 13th Street exit from westbound I-80 in east Omaha abruptly ended a vibrant life in the early hours of a terrible Thursday.
Emergency services were dispatched to the site at 4:18 a.m. as Jessica was driving her 2008 Cadillac Escalade SUV off the interstate and into the grassy median. Sadly, the car overturned, which was a devastating development.
Jessica was cruelly thrown from the car by the force of the accident, and the severity of the crash made her lifeless. Although the Omaha Fire Department’s medics got there in a flash, the woman’s injuries were too great, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her infectious laugh, kind disposition, and giving nature will live on in the memories of anyone fortunate enough to have interacted with her. As Jessica’s loved ones deal with the suddenness of this loss, our thoughts and prayers are with them.
