In an update to our earlier on-line story, the one person was flown by Life Net helicopter to a hospital in Omaha following a motorcycle accident on Interstate 80 Sunday morning, near Shelby. The Omaha World Herald reports the accident happened at around 10-a.m. near the 36.5-mile marker of I-80 eastbound.

According to dispatch reports, a motorcycle driven by a 60-year old man went out of control and crashed into the median. Traffic was backed-up in the eastbound lanes for about 2-miles, until around 11-a.m., because the helicopter landed at the scene on the interstate. The chopper took-off at around 10:47-a.m. enroute to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.

The crash victims’ injuries were not believed to be life threatening. Additional information was not available early this (Sunday) afternoon.
