Omaha Police Probe Hit-and-Run That Critically Injured 63-Year-Old Woman

Q: Witnesses saw the driver struggle before vanishing—what vital clue did they leave behind after pinning a woman in Omaha?

The key clue witnesses reported was that the fleeing vehicle appeared to be a pickup truck with no license plates. According to Omaha police and witness accounts, the driver was traveling east on Q Street when the vehicle hit a parked 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer, pushing it into another parked vehicle and pinning a 63-year-old woman between them. Witnesses said they heard a loud bang, then saw the driver struggle briefly to get the vehicle moving again before fleeing. That detail — a pickup with no plates — is especially important because police have not released a driver description. Investigators are treating the case as a hit-and-run, and the missing plates could help explain why identifying the vehicle may be difficult. The woman was hospitalized with critical, life-threatening injuries after the crash near 38th and Q streets just after 5 p.m. Anyone with information is asked to contact Omaha Crime Stoppers anonymously at 402-444-7867, through the Crime Stoppers website, or via the P3 Tips app.
