Four Iowans from Bedford and Council Bluffs die in Nebraska accident

July 3, 2017 By Matt Kelley

Authorities in Nebraska are now releasing the names of the four Iowans who were killed in a weekend crash.

The Nebraska State Patrol says an SUV crossed the center line of a highway in western Nebraska’s Keith County and hit two motorcycles head-on. Each motorcycle was carrying two Iowans and all four were pronounced dead at the scene on Saturday morning.

The victims are identified as: 61-year-old James Metheny and his 52-year-old wife Sheila, both of Bedford and 58-year-old Michal Weese and 59-year-old Jerolyn Weese of Council Bluffs. The 22-year-old SUV driver survived the crash and was hospitalized in Colorado.

There’s no word yet on any charges.
