Omaha, NE — There was an accident alongside the Omaha-Iowa border at the Missouri River this past Friday, June 5, 2015. Police said that a man from Chicago was injured after his bicycle was hit by a minivan along John Pershing Drive. The man on the bike was identified as Brian Long, 33 years old.
Long had been riding his bicycle south along John Pershing last Friday around 12:15 p.m. while a woman in a minivan was also driving south.
As they neared Craig Avenue, the woman in the minivan apparently didn’t see Long and crashed into the back of his bicycle. He was ejected and badly injured; paramedics were called over to take him to Creighton University Medical Center.
His injuries were serious, but not life-threatening.
It looks like the woman driving the minivan, now idenfitied as 62-year old Dorothy Robbins, was cited for this accident. The police said she was guilty of negligent driving after failing to see Brian Long that day.
