Hit-and-Run and Fleeing Crashes in Nebraska
Crashes involving individuals fleeing the scene are taken very seriously under Nebraska law. These incidents not only disrupt traffic but often complicate investigations, delaying critical care for any injured parties and potentially leading to additional legal consequences for those involved.
In Nebraska, fleeing the scene of an accident is a criminal offense that can result in charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, depending on the circumstances. Midtown Omaha, a bustling area with heavy traffic, often sees increased risk for accidents, particularly during the late-night and early-morning hours when driver alertness may be diminished.
