Two motorcyclists were hurt during separate crashes last weekend, in Mills County. The Sheriff’s Office says Richard Deboodt, of Bellevue, NE, was transported by Glenwood Rescue to a hospital in Council Bluffs, after Deboodt crashed his 2014 Harley Davidson at around 8:20-p.m, Saturday. The accident happened as the cycle was traveling north on 221st Street and entered a curve too fast. The Harley entered the east ditch and went over Elrod Avenue before going back into the ditch. Deboodt suffered minor injuries to his face during the accident, which required stitches.
The second accident happened at around 3:10-p.m. Sunday, when a 2005 Honda traveling south on 230th Street in Mills County, went out of control on loose gravel. The bike apparently just fell over, according to authorities. The driver, Harry Mount, of Glenwood, suffered severe injuries and was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Omaha.
