COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) - Police in western Iowa are seeking the driver of a car investigators say caused a deadly motorcycle crash, then fled the scene.
The crash happened Monday afternoon on Interstate 29 in Council Bluffs, according to a news release from the Council Bluffs Police Department. A witness told police that a light blue car merging onto the interstate from I-480 hit one of three motorcycles traveling southbound on I-29, pushing the bike into a guardrail.
The motorcycle driver was taken to a hospital in nearby Omaha, Nebraska, where he died. A woman who was a passenger on the bike was also taken to the Omaha hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening. Police said both are from Tennessee. Their names had not been released by late Tuesday morning.
