BELLEVUE, Neb. (KMTV) — Two people are dead after a motorcycle and pickup collided in Bellevue Saturday night.

At 7:31 p.m., Bellevue Police responded to 21st St and Cornhusker Road for a personal injury crush. Upon arrival, officers discovered the crash involved at 1999 Dodge Ram and a 2013 Harley motorcycle.
