Omaha, NE (January 24, 2026) – Emergency responders were dispatched to a personal injury crash near North 24th Street and Ames Avenue, following reports of a man lying in the roadway after a collision.
According to dispatch traffic and witness statements, the victim appeared to be down in the street and was being assisted by bystanders when first responders arrived. Engine and medic units were deployed to the scene to provide emergency care.
