Omaha, NE (September 7, 2026) – Two women were hospitalized following a collision near 120th Street and West Center Road on Saturday, September 5. Emergency units were called to the intersection at about 4:23 p.m.
One woman, believed to be in her 80s, was reported unconscious and was taken to Bergan with critical trauma. A second woman, believed to be in her 20s, was also brought to Bergan with trauma that was reported as less severe.
Investigators continue reviewing the crash. We hope both women receive the care and support needed as they recover.
Serious Trauma Can Require Different Levels of Emergency Care
After a roadway emergency, medical teams may classify patients based on how urgently they need treatment. Someone who is unconscious or showing signs of severe trauma may require faster hospital care and closer monitoring.
The level of care can depend on breathing, circulation, responsiveness, visible injuries, and other medical findings. Two people involved in the same roadway encounter may therefore receive different priority levels based on their symptoms.
Age can also affect how the body responds to sudden force. Older adults may face greater risks from head, chest, or bone injuries, while younger adults can experience serious trauma depending on seating position and the direction of force. Hospital evaluation helps determine the full extent of harm.
