SIDNEY, Neb. - Nebraska authorities are still investigating a collision
on Interstate 80 that claimed the life of a 49-year-old Nevada woman.
Cheyenne County Attorney Paul Schaub said Tuesday that no citations
have been issued to the driver of the motorcycle or the semitrailer that
collided Sunday afternoon east of Sidney.
The Nebraska State Patrol says 45-year-old Alfred Christian was driving the
motorcycle carrying him and Elise Hinton when its front tire went flat.
The patrol says Christian lost control of the bike, and it hit the side of
the semi driven by 52-year-old Kenneth Brown, of St. Paris, Ohio. Brown was
not hurt.
Hinton died at the scene. The patrol says Christian was flown to Scottsbluff
for treatment.
They're both from Minden.
