Omaha, NE (June 30, 2026) – A pregnant woman was critically hurt on Sunday evening, June 28, after being struck by an SUV while crossing Center Street in a marked crosswalk in Omaha.

The collision happened shortly after 7:30 p.m., at the intersection of 64th Avenue and Center Street. According to the police, a black GMC Yukon was traveling northbound before turning left to head westbound on Center Street when it hit a 35-year-old pregnant woman who was crossing from north to south with the walk signal.

Emergency units took the woman to Bergan Mercy Hospital with critical but non-life-threatening injuries. The status of her unborn child had not been released. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the collision.

We send our best wishes to the injured woman and hope for her full recovery.

Why Crosswalk Safety Is Especially Important at Signalized Intersections

Marked crosswalks and pedestrian signals are designed to help people cross busy roads more safely, but drivers and pedestrians must remain alert at all times. Turning vehicles can create conflicts, particularly when motorists focus on oncoming traffic and fail to notice someone already in the crosswalk.

Many intersections use dedicated walk signals to indicate when it is safe to cross. Even with these signals, visibility, weather, traffic volume, and driver attention can affect safety. Pedestrians are encouraged to make eye contact with approaching drivers before stepping into the roadway whenever possible, while motorists should slow down before turning and carefully check crosswalks for people who may have the legal right of way. Increased awareness from everyone using the roadway can help reduce serious pedestrian injuries.

1Seek treatment promptly after being injured in an accident. Your first priority should always be your health. Many providers offer treatment on a lien basis, meaning you can get the care you need now and pay later when your claim is resolved.
2Before speaking with an insurance company, make sure you have the facts. An official police report is the most reliable record of what happened and can help establish liability An experienced attorney can assist you in obtaining this report and using it to protect your interests.
3Consider having your case reviewed by a qualified attorney who can guide you through the next steps. They will safeguard your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.

Focus on your recovery and
let trusted professionals handle the rest
