Police say a motorcyclist is dead after losing control of her bike and crashing it into a car in northwest Omaha.

Police say the crash happened Thursday morning on Military Avenue. Investigators say Stacy Hauser, of Omaha, was driving a motorcycle eastbound on the road when she had problems negotiating a curve and drove into oncoming traffic. An oncoming car swerved to try to avoid Hauser, but couldn’t.

Police say Hauser was thrown into the car’s windshield, then to the ground. She was taken to Creighton Medical Center, where she died, despite wearing a helmet and other safety equipment.

Hauser had turned 33 on Wednesday.

Police say the driver of the car was not at fault and no charges are expected.
