A motorcycle accident leaves a father and son dead. Around 9:15 Thursday morning, the man's motorcycle collided with an SUV at 82nd and Milwaukee. The bike was going northbound on Milwaukee when a Chevy Tahoe going southbound turned onto 82nd St. The vehicles collided in the intersection. 43-year-old Danny Laseman and his 14-year-old son, Justin, were on the bike. Both were taken to UMC. Danny Laseman died Thursday afternoon. Two small children in the Chevy Tahoe were also treated and released from the hospital. Another motorcyclist who witnessed the accident talked to us about the importance of being cautious on the road. Says Stan Tucker, "You see more and more motorcycles on the streets and with the price of gas, you're gonna see even more, so I can't stress enough safety and drivers looking out for motorcycles and motorcycles looking out for cars."
