A 22-year-old Omaha man will serve at least 16 years in prison for causing a collision that killed two women and an unborn child. Prosecutors say Zachary Paulison was drunk and driving more than 100 mph in March 2022 when his truck slammed into a vehicle carrying 38-year-old Amanda Schook and 37-year-old Sara Zimmerman, who was eight months pregnant. The women from Gretna died at the scene. Paulison pleaded no contest in November to three counts of motor vehicle homicide. He was sentenced Wednesday. Douglas County District Judge Duane Dougherty said Paulison must serve at least 16 years before being eligible for parole.
