On August 19 at approximately 4:30 p.m., Scottsbluff police officers were dispatched to the 700 block of West 27th Street in response to an injury accident.

The preliminary investigation indicates that an eastbound motorcycle struck a Lexus SUV that was pulling out of the Dairy Queen parking lot exit, preparing to turn west onto 27th Street.

A 24 year old male was transported to RWMC with serious injuries, and is believed to be in critical condition.

The investigation is still ongoing, and any businesses with security camera footage of the accident are encouraged to contact Scottsbluff PD and contact Sgt. Eckerberg or Ofc. Yocum.
