A Nebraska man was injured during a crash Thursday morning, in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol says 73-year old Dean L. Crase, of Omaha, was transported by Council Bluffs Fire and Rescue to Creighton University Medical Center, following the crash on Interstate 29, near Council Bluffs. Crase was reported to be in “fair” condition at the hospital.

Officials say Crase, who was wearing a seat belt, was traveling north on the interstate at around 7:30-a.m., when the 2004 Chevy Trailblazer he was driving left the road on the west side of Council Bluffs. The SUV crossed the median and southbound lanes of I-29 before entering the west ditch and hitting a fence. It finally came to rest on River Road.

The accident remains under investigation.
