Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts has ordered a review of the Nebraska State Patrol after questions were raised about a fatal wreck in western Nebraska involving a trooper.
Allegations have been levelled that leadership at the patrol called for changes in the accident report.

The driver of a car being chased by a trooper died in a high-speed chase near Gordon in October.
Chief Human Resources Officer Jason Jackson will conduct the review

Patrol Superintendent Brad Rice denied any pressure has exerted to change the report.
