A motorcyclist was critically injured after colliding with an SUV near 30th and Ida around 8:30 Friday night.                                                                                                     

Omaha Police say a black 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee was traveling northbound on 30th Street and was turning left onto westbound Ida Street.  

While turning, a blue 2009 Kawasaki EX500 motorcycle, which was traveling northbound in the southbound lane in a reckless manner, collided with the driver's side rear door of the Jeep.
