Bellevue, NE – Multi-Vehicle Crash on Hwy 370 Leaves People Hurt

Bellevue, NE (April 5, 2025) – A chain-reaction collision disrupted the flow of traffic early Thursday morning in Sarpy County, leaving at least one person injured and emergency crews scrambling to assist those involved.

The incident occurred around 6:21 a.m. on April 3, when four vehicles collided in the eastbound lanes of Highway 370 near Wickersham Boulevard in Bellevue. The crash caused significant delays during the morning commute as authorities closed lanes and worked to clear the scene. Firefighters, police officers, and paramedics were dispatched to assist. First responders provided aid at the site before transporting at least one person to an area hospital for additional medical treatment.

Traffic was backed up for an extended period as crews worked to investigate and remove the damaged vehicles. The current condition of the injured victim has not been released. Authorities are still looking into what led up to the crash, and no charges or citations have been announced at this time.

We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.

Car Accidents in Nebraska

Car crashes continue to be a serious concern across Nebraska. In 2022, the state reported over 35,000 motor vehicle accidents. Of those, more than 1,200 resulted in serious injuries and 233 ended in death. Highways and busy intersections, such as those in Sarpy County, are frequent locations for multi-vehicle collisions, especially during peak hours. Morning traffic often increases the risk of crashes due to congestion and distracted driving.

Let’s take a moment to look at a few common injuries victims may suffer in multi-vehicle crashes:

• Whiplash and Soft Tissue Damage: Rear-end crashes and sudden braking often lead to whiplash. This injury can cause neck stiffness, headaches, and limited mobility, sometimes lasting weeks or even months. Even low-speed collisions can result in lasting discomfort and long-term physical therapy.
• Head Injuries and Concussions: In a four-vehicle pileup, drivers and passengers are more likely to hit their heads on steering wheels, windows, or other hard surfaces. Concussions and traumatic brain injuries may not show immediate symptoms but can lead to memory issues, dizziness, and ongoing cognitive problems.
• Fractures and Broken Bones: Arm, leg, and rib fractures are common in more severe crashes. These injuries often require extended recovery time, surgery, or physical therapy. The severity may vary depending on seatbelt use and the type of collision.
• Internal Injuries: Blunt force trauma in a crash can cause unseen damage to organs. These injuries are dangerous because they can go unnoticed until symptoms worsen. Emergency evaluations are vital after any major crash.
