Two people are dead after a motorcycle accident in Kimball County.

A spokesperson for the Nebraska State Patrol says troopers responded to reports of a motorcycle versus semi-truck accident on I-80 near mile marker 29 on Monday evening.

Both riders of the motorcycle, 61-year-old Michael Zweigle and 57-year-old Laura Zweigle both of Reno, Nevada, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities say it appears that the motorcycle was hit by the semitrailer as the motorcycle pulled onto I-80 from the shoulder.

The semi-truck driver was not injured.

No criminal charges are expected.
