OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — One motorcyclist died and three others were injured when a car crashed into a group of riders who were escorting a veteran’s body home to Nebraska.

The crash happened Saturday afternoon on Interstate 80 near Atlantic, Iowa.

The Iowa State Patrol says 81-year-old Donald Kerby of Des Moines struck the motorcycles when he changed lanes to avoid a trailer on the right shoulder. Thirty-eight-year-old Ryan Lossing of Omaha, Nebraska, died and three other riders were hurt.

The fatal crash echoed the events near Manassas, Virginia, that caused Army veteran Bill Henry’s death earlier this month.

The 69-year-old died Sept. 14, two weeks after suffering head injuries while helping provide a motorcycle escort for six West Coast veterans being transported to Arlington National Cemetery for burial.
