Kyle McAcy Obituary, Death – A Nebraska State Trooper lost his life after being struck by a snowplow while responding to a crash amid winter weather conditions.
Trooper Kyle McAcy, 31, was assisting at an accident scene on Interstate 80 between Greenwood and Ashland on Monday morning when he was hit, according to the Nebraska State Patrol. Authorities said McAcy was outside his patrol vehicle when the snowplow driver accidentally struck him. Fellow troopers on the scene attempted to provide aid, but he was pronounced dead.
McAcy, a 10-year veteran of the Nebraska State Patrol, had served in multiple roles, including patrol division, carrier enforcement, and as a crisis negotiator. He was a graduate of Camp 56 and held badge #302 while being stationed in Omaha.
Superintendent Col. John Bolduc expressed his grief, calling McAcy a dedicated law enforcement officer and a respected member of the community. “Our NSP family is devastated today,” Bolduc said in a statement. “Kyle was a devoted public servant and a good friend to many in Omaha and beyond. His loss is being felt by countless people. Please keep his family, friends, colleagues, and community in your hearts as they deal with this unimaginable loss.”
The Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office has been assigned to investigate the accident. Meanwhile, with ongoing winter weather conditions across Nebraska, officials are urging motorists to exercise caution while driving.
