A crash in Fremont County involving a motorcycle, Thursday morning, has claimed the life of a Nebraska man. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2012 Volvo semi driven by 38-year old Margie Carola Castro, of Houston, TX., was eastbound on Highway 2 in the left lane, and preparing to turn left onto the northbound I-29 on-ramp, when Castro failed to yield to a westbound 2006 Harley Davidson motorcycle.

The cycle, operated by 38-year old Andrew Charles Boardman, of Nehawka, NE., ran into the right side of the semi within the intersection of Highway 2 and the I-29 northbound on-ramp. The accident happened at around 6:50-a.m.  Boardman died at the scene.
