(Atlantic) Two women were injured in a motorcycle accident on I-80 in Cass County Wednesday morning.
The Iowa State Patrol says 67-year-old Ellen Lloyd, of La Vista, Nebraska, was driving a 2017 Harley Davidson westbound on I-80 near the 63 mile marker at 11:14 a.m. Lloyd stated that it was stop and go traffic within the construction zone and when she braked hard, the passenger, 47-year-old Tiffany Reiss of Raymond, Nebraska, started to fall off of the motorcycle. Lloyd and Reiss fell onto the pavement within the traveled portion of the roadway. The motorcycle continued off the road and into the ditch.
Ellen Lloyd was transported to Cass County Memorial Hospital by ambulance. Tiffany Reiss was transported to the University of Nebraska Medical Center by Lifenet.
