The Cass County Sheriff’s Office has released details on an accident that occurred on June 9th, 2023. At approximately 10:20 p.m. that day area first responders were called to the intersection of Lewis Road and Oxford Road in Lewis for a single vehicle motorcycle accident.  Investigation found that a 2022 Honda Sport Bike was operating westbound on Oxford Road approaching the turn onto Lewis Road.  The operator, later identified as 28-year-old Christian Contreras-Pinera, of Schuyler, NE, failed to negotiate the turn and lost control. The sport bike left the roadway and struck a bumpy area in the adjacent grass and ditch.  This caused the motorcycle to flip end-over-end several times, ejecting the operator.  Contreras-Pinera was flown to a regional hospital for serious injuries.
