Authorities say a 2004 Chevy pickup driven by 55-year old Arlene Smith, of Hamburg, was traveling east on Fillmore Street, in Sidney, when Kissel, who was riding a mountain bike northbound on Walnut Street, failed to stop at the posted intersection. His bike hit Smith’s pickup on the right front passenger fender and passenger door.

The accident remains under investigation. The Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, Sidney Fire and Rescue, and LifeNet Medical Helicopter.
