Omaha, NE (May 20, 2026) – A crash between a motorcycle and a car injured the rider, who was transported to a trauma center on Wednesday morning, May 20. Omaha Fire and EMS were called at 8:21 am to westbound lanes of Interstate 80 near 96th Street.
The rider, a man believed to be in his 50s, was thrown from his bike but was conscious at the scene. He was taken to Bergan Mercy Medical Center as a Code 2 trauma with a broken arm and road rash. He had been wearing a helmet, which remained intact.
The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
We wish the rider a smooth and complete recovery.
How Can You Document Your Injuries After a Motorcycle Crash in Omaha, NE?
If you were hurt in a motorcycle crash in Omaha, you should start to document your injuries at the scene, if you are physically able. Use your phone to photograph every visible injury or ask someone else to photograph you and the vehicles involved.
After leaving the scene, it is vital to seek medical attention promptly for two purposes: it protects your health, and it creates an official record connecting your injuries directly to the crash. Riders thrown from their bikes at highway speed crashes face injuries beyond what is immediately visible. These injuries can include internal trauma, soft tissue damage or concussion, for example.
Keep a personal injury journal starting the day after the crash. Record your pain levels, your limitations, and how your injuries are affecting your daily life (work, sleep, mobility, and mental health). Save every medical bill, prescription receipt, and record of missed work. Photograph your injuries every few days as they evolve.
Preserving this kind of documentation builds a detailed picture of your recovery that supports any future legal claim and helps an Omaha personal injury lawyer calculate the full scope of your damages.
