A 23 year old Ashland man was killed when his motorcycle collided with another vehicle at South Cotner and ‘O’ Street around 5:45 Wednesday night. “The motorcycle and an SUV were both westbound on ‘O’ Street approaching Cotner Blvd and attempted to merge into the same lane,” says LPD Captain Todd Kocian.
“The vehicles collided which caused the motorcycle to fall onto its side, slide briefly on the roadway and collide with a sedan, before coming to rest.” 23 year old Kody Berner was riding the motorcycle and was taken to a Lincoln hospital where he died from his injuries.
An 18-year-old woman was a passenger on the motorcycle and was taken to a hospital where she is in critical, but stable condition. The drivers of the sedan and SUV were uninjured.
