Lincoln Police continue to investigate a crash that critically injured a motorcyclist just after noon on Saturday. LPD Public Information Officer Erika Thomas says the preliminary investigation determined that a white Dodge delivery van driven by a 35-year-old Omaha man was eastbound on the Pioneers Blvd. access road between Nebraska Parkway and 33rd Street.
“He turned left in front of a motorcycle driving westbound and the bike collided with the rear passenger side of the van. The 56-year-old Lincoln man driving the motorcycle was taken to a local hospital for emergency surgery. His injuries were initially considered life-threatening, but police say that is no longer the case. Investigators say he was wearing a helmet.
The van driver was uninjured and LPD showed no signs of being impaired. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information about the crash can call the non-emergency number at 402-441-6000 or, if you would like to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
