Omaha Police are looking for a driver who took off from the scene of a crash that killed a motorcyclist on Interstate 80 near 36th Street Friday night.
Investigators said the motorcyclist was westbound on a Harley Davidson around 9:30 p.m. The driver of a Ford Mustang was in another lane and also westbound. Police say the Mustang and Harley both tried to merge into the same lane at the same time and collided. The motorcyclist, 49 Year old Scott DeWald of Omaha, was thrown from the bike and then hit by a third vehicle. The driver of that third vehicle left the scene.
DeWald was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Mustang, a 19-year-old Indiana man, was not hurt. Police are now trying to find the driver who fled.
