Omaha, NE : Motorcyclist injured in crash near Bennington remains in critical condition on Monday, 2nd April 2018

A 58-year-old Fremont man remained in critical condition Monday at an Omaha hospital after being injured in a motorcycle crash.

Jeffry Schlautman was injured late Friday after veering off Nebraska Highway 36 near Bennington, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said.

Schlautman is in the intensive care unit at Creighton University Medical Center-Bergan Mercy, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Schlautman’s girlfriend, who was driving a vehicle behind the motorcycle when the crash occurred, told investigators that it appeared that gusty winds blew the motorcyclist off the road just east of 168th Street.

The Sheriff’s Office considered the winds a contributing factor in the crash, Capt. Wayne Hudson said.

The National Weather Service office in Valley measured gusts of up to 43 mph in the area just before midnight, when the crash was reported.
