In an update to our story last Friday, Police in Council Bluffs said Monday, that a Nebraska man has died from injuries he suffered during a motorcycle accident early Friday morning. 59-year old Michael Sowl, of Kearney, NE., died over the weekend from complications resulting from his injuries. Sowl was driving his motorcycle southbound on South 35th Street at around 2:37-a.m., when the cycle came into contact with the median and went out of control near the intersection with Nebraska Avenue.
Sowl, who was not wearing a helmet, was thrown from the motorcycle and landed on the traveled portion of the road. Alcohol is believed to have played a role in the crash, but the toxicology results were still pending. The accident remains under investigation.
