Accidents

Hit-and-run on Kickapoo

Incident occurred at 4:15 p.m. Aug. 10 on Kickapoo, 139 feet west of South College.

  • Cyrulik, Larry J., 68-year-old male, Mount Pulaski; 2010 Toyota Camry owned by Mike Albert Ltd.

Cyrulik said that he had parked his vehicle on Kickapoo just east of State Street and left it unattended to check out a property. When he returned to the vehicle he noted damage.

Driver takes a wild ride near Daphne's Restaurant

Incident occurred at 10:28 p.m. Aug. 10 on Woodlawn, 161 feet east of North Monroe.

  • Taylor, Dionte D., 24-year-old male, Lincoln; 2001 Cadillac DeVille

Taylor was traveling on Woodlawn when his car crossed all five lanes of traffic and struck the curb at Daphne's Restaurant, then proceeded into and across the restaurant parking lot and struck a guardrail on the east side. From there the vehicle veered into a vacant, concrete-surfaced lot, where it hit several parking bollards before coming to a stop in the vacant lot that was formerly the site of Bob's Roast Beef. The vehicle sustained major damage. The driver was ticketed for no driver's license and driving with a license suspended or revoked.

Driver may have been ill

Incident occurred at 2:57 p.m. on North Madison, 156 feet north of Woodlawn.

  • Busch, Edwin L., 91-year-old male, Lincoln; 2006 Buick Rainier

  • 2006 Mazda owned by Tuyet Baughman (no other information given)

The officer's report said that he was traveling north on North Madison, where he noted the 2006 Mazda. Approximately a half-block north of there, he saw the vehicle owned by Busch parked along the side of the road. He noted that the driver was slumped over. The officer parked his squad car and approached the driver, who appeared to be unresponsive. When the officer tapped on the driver's-side window, Busch was aroused, looked startled and confused, placed his car in reverse and backed into the Lincoln city police car.

The officer called for emergency services, and the Lincoln Fire Department and Logan County Paramedics responded. Busch was taken to Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital by the LCPA.

The officer later spoke with Busch in the hospital and issued a citation for improper lane usage. The officer said Busch was unaware that he had struck the Mazda and the squad car. The officer issued no further citations, believing that Busch was indeed unaware of the incidents he had been involved in.
