OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say a motorcyclist has been killed in a crash in northeastern Omaha near the city’s airport, and an Iowa driver could face charges.
Police say 45-year-old Michael Laughlin was on a motorcycle Wednesday afternoon heading south on 11th Street when a northbound car turned left in front of the bike, causing the crash. The car then slid into an eastbound pickup truck.
Laughlin was taken to an Omaha hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The car’s driver, a 27-year-old man from Council Bluffs, Iowa, was not injured. The driver of the pickup also was not injured.
Police say charges in the case are pending.
