A motorcycle accident Sunday evening in Shelby County resulted in non-life threatening injuries to a man and woman from Nebraska. The Sheriff’s Office says Robert Duermyer, and his passenger, Alicia Livingston, both of Papillion, NE., were injured when the cycle they were on left the road and entered a ditch before hitting a mailbox near a farm drive. The pair were found lying on the ground in the 400 block of State Highway 37, at around 5:30-p.m. They were transported to Myrtue Memorial Hospital.

Officials say the accident happened because Duermyer was unfamiliar with the road, which has a sharp curve to the left. Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputies were assisted at the scene by personnel with the Earling and Dunlap Fire and Rescue Departments.
