Three men from Nebraska were hurt after they were ejected from a stolen vehicle that was involved in a high-speed crash Monday afternoon, in Council Bluffs. According the Daily NonPareil, police were pursuing the 2006 Pontiac G6 a little after One-p.m., when it left the road near the Interstate 29 southbound split to I-80 westbound. Officers arriving on the scene found the men laying to the vehicle, which had been reported stolen from an Omaha car dealer.

Officials say 30-year old Jesse Byers, 41-year old Willie Gonzales and 25-year old Anthony Biggart, all of Omaha, were transported by Council Bluffs Fire and Rescue to Creighton University Medical Center, for treatment of possible/unknown injuries.

Criminal Investigation Division Sgt. David Dawson confirmed the vehicle was stolen, but charges had not yet been filed in connection with the theft.
