PLATTSMOUTH - Cass County Sheriff William Brueggemann reports an injury accident Tuesday morning after a motorcycle hit a turning semi-trailer.

A sheriff’s office press release says a Mack truck pulling a side-dump trailer attempted to turn from Webster Boulevard onto First Avenue.

Investigators say the front end of the truck, driven by 73-year-old Galen Fada of Glenwood,Iowa,  was through the intersection when the rear wheel apparatus on back of the trailer was hit by the motorcycle.

The Harley Davidson motorcycle was driven by 56-year-old Joseph Pohlmeier of Plattsmouth, who was taken by medical helicopter to UNMC.
