Accident on Highway 30.

[ZachsterPoke]

Just went past an accident or something on Highway 30 just west of the exit by Jack Trice Stadium. I counted at least 10 cars w/ lights; with a mix of police cars/SUVs, an ambulance, a fire truck, and a tow truck or two. Don't think I saw the actual accident... might have been down the ditch on the far side. All westbound traffic was being routed onto that Jack Trice exit.

Anyone listening to a police scanner to see what's going on?

I think this was a motorcycle accident.

At one point there was a helicopter brought in, it landed right on the westbound Hwy 30.

Very sad. I worked with Ben while in high school and college when I came back home to work at the radio station. He was a good guy.
