Motorcyclist Hurt in Wreck on US 77 at Hickory Rd in Beatrice, NE
Beatrice, NE (November 14, 2026) – A 74-year-old motorcyclist was injured in a three-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 77 at Hickory Rd, about two miles north of Beatrice, on Tuesday night, November 10. The collision happened around 8:28 p.m.
According to the
Gage County Sheriff's Office, the man was riding a 2008 Kawasaki motorcycle southbound on the highway when a 2024 Chevrolet Malibu struck the motorcycle from behind. The impact pushed the motorcycle into the passing lane and threw the rider off the bike.
A 2026 Nissan Pathfinder then struck the motorcycle in the passing lane before coming to rest in the median.
Emergency units took the injured motorcyclist to Beatrice Community Hospital for treatment. His injuries were believed to be non-life-threatening.
Investigators do not believe speed or alcohol contributed to the crash. The investigation remains ongoing.
We wish the injured motorcyclist a full and speedy recovery.
Who Pays My Medical Bills After a Multi-Vehicle Crash in Beatrice, NE?
After a multi-vehicle crash in Beatrice, your medical bills are usually paid by the insurance of the driver or drivers found responsible. However, that payment often comes at the end of the claim.
Until the claim settles, your health insurance or medical payments coverage, if you have it, can help keep bills from piling up. An insurer that pays these bills may later ask to be repaid from your settlement.
When a motorcyclist is hurt, medical bills are often higher because riders have much less protection than people inside a vehicle. Treatment may include surgery, a hospital stay, and months of therapy.
If a responsible driver has little or no insurance, you may be able to turn to your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Nebraska requires this coverage on auto policies.
To keep a record of your costs, save your medical records, itemized bills, and receipts together. You should also get a copy of the crash report from the Gage County Sheriff's Office.
Under Nebraska law, you generally have four years from the date of a crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline could prevent you from recovering compensation through the courts.
When several insurers are involved, a
motorcycle accident lawyer can determine which policy should cover your medical bills. An attorney can also address payment delays or denials so your treatment costs are handled properly.
