LINCOLN–(KFOR Nov. 17)–A 62-year-old Lincoln man is dead, after his motorcycle rear-ended an SUV Sunday afternoon at NW 48th and Highway 34, Lancaster County Sheriff’s investigators said Sunday evening in a news release to KFOR News.

Michael Stover was pronounced dead at the scene.  His motorcycle was westbound when it rear-ended a Toyota Highlander stopped for a red light.  The driver, 57-year-old Margaret Niedbalski of Columbus, was not hurt.

“1.3 grams of suspected methamphetamine was found,” Brookhauser added.

The investigation continues.
