Omaha, NE (May 12, 2025) – A fatal crash occurred on Sunday afternoon, May 11, at the intersection of 204th Street and F Street in Omaha, claiming the life of a motorcyclist. The incident took place at approximately 4:30 p.m. and involved a collision between a motorcycle and a passenger vehicle.
According to the Omaha Police Department, first responders were dispatched to the scene following multiple 911 calls reporting a severe crash. Upon arrival, emergency medical personnel from the Omaha Fire Department pronounced the motorcyclist deceased at the scene due to the extent of injuries sustained in the collision. The driver of the passenger vehicle suffered minor injuries and was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital for further evaluation.
Authorities noted that conflicting witness accounts made it difficult to determine the exact sequence of events leading up to the crash. Firefighters assisted with traffic control and vehicle removal, while police investigators worked at the scene for several hours to collect evidence and reconstruct the incident. The intersection remained closed during the investigation to ensure the safety of responders and the public.
At this time, no citations have been issued, and the cause of the collision remains under investigation by the Omaha Police Department’s traffic unit.
Our deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones of the motorcyclist who lost their life in this heartbreaking accident.
Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in Omaha: Trends and Legal Options
Motorcycle fatalities remain a serious concern in Omaha and throughout Nebraska. According to the Nebraska Department of Transportation, there were 25 motorcycle fatalities across the state in 2023, with a significant portion occurring in urban areas like Omaha. Motorcyclists account for a disproportionately high number of traffic deaths compared to other vehicle types, despite representing a smaller share of road users. Intersections like 204th St and F St are common hotspots for motorcycle crashes due to limited visibility and failure to yield.
When a motorcyclist is killed in an accident caused by another driver’s negligence, surviving family members may have the right to file a wrongful death claim. In Nebraska, a wrongful death lawsuit can be brought by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate and may seek compensation for funeral costs, lost income, medical bills, and emotional suffering. It is important to act promptly, as Nebraska law imposes a two-year statute of limitations on wrongful death claims. An experienced attorney can help families understand their rights and build a strong case to pursue justice.
