LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - State regulators have reinstated the license of a Lincoln surgeon who was accused of practicing medicine while impaired.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports (https://bit.ly/2eGFq44 ) that Dr. Scott Strasburger’s license was reinstated last week. In December 2014 he agreed to a suspension after he was accused of being impaired when he arrived at work in November 2014. He was on track to reinstatement until June 2015, when he was involved in a hit-and-run traffic accident. This past February the 53-year-old was sentenced to a year of probation.

State health officials say Strasburger will be subject to drug and alcohol testing for the next five years.

Strasburger played football for the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 1981 through 1984.
