A Pottawattamie County man was listed in critical, but stable condition following a collision Tuesday evening between his motorcycle and a car. Council Bluffs Police say 59-year old Steven Joseph Sulentic, of Council Bluffs, was transported by Council Bluffs Fire and Rescue to Creighton University Hospital following the accident that took place at around 6:20-p.m., at the intersection of S. 24th Street and 6th Avenue.

Officials say the Harley Davidson motorcycle driven by Sulentic was southbound on 6th avenue when it collided with a Honda Civic driven by 19-year old Edwin Fermin Lopez-Ambrocio, of Council Bluffs, as he was westbound on 6th avenue.

Lopez-Ambrocio complained of pain afterward, but requested no medical attention at the scene. He was issued a citation for failure to yield the right away at an uncontrolled intersection. At this point this investigation is considered closed with the issuance of the citation with no further charges pending.
