In court records, Lincoln Police Officer Nicholas Brown said he was sent to a crash at 65th Street and Leighton Avenue at about 2:45 p.m. Wednesday and arrived to find a motorcycle lying in the intersection and an SUV resting over a collapsed stop sign on the corner.
He said the motorcycle rider, 30-year-old Dillion Crandall, had been seriously injured when a Chevrolet Traverse driven by Smith ran a stop sign, according to witnesses.
Brown said another officer smelled alcohol on Smith's breath and there were four empty cans of alcoholic Twisted Tea visible in his SUV.
