A man from Nebraska was injured during a car versus motorcycle accident early Sunday afternoon, in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2017 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by 69-year old Gary D. Snell, of Omaha, and a 2007 Ford Taurus driven by 55-year old Janet M. Franks-Bohm, of Omaha, were both westbound on I-680 at around 12:40-p.m., when the Franks-Bohm tried to exit the interstate and struck the motorcycle.

Snell was ejected from the cycle and came to rest in the north ditch, along with his motorcycle. The car came to rest on the right shoulder. Snell, who was wearing a helmet, was transported by Crescent Rescue to UNMC in Omaha.

The accident remains under investigation.
