On Tuesday, between 12:00 pm and 2:30 pm, a vehicle accident occurred on the corners of 29th & S Streets. When passing by on our way home from work that afternoon, we saw the remains of the accident. It looked like a pickup had run over a motorcycle, causing the motorcycle to rupture the gas tank on the pickup and both were burned to a crisp. My husband and I would like to know if anyone died in that accident?

Dear Smittylove,
There was a vehicle accident at 28th and S Streets on Tuesday involving a truck versus a motorcycle. The motorcycle slid under the truck causing the vehicles to catch fire. The motorcyclist fell off prior to the bike being wedged under the truck. The rider was taken to an area hospital. When officers spoke to him at the hospital, he was alert and appeared to be in good spirits. As for the driver of the truck, he made it out before the fire. He was fine and took a cab from the scene.

Apparently the accident looked a lot worse than it was, and your concern was understandable.

Officer Michelle
