A two-vehicle accident in Pottawattamie County Thursday evening resulted in one of the drivers being transported to a hospital in Council Bluffs. According to the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Department, the accident happened at around 6-p.m. near Carson, at the intersection of Highway 59 and Dogwood Avenue.

Authorities say two vehicles were traveling north on Highway 59 when one of the drivers signaled to turn right into Dogwood, but instead turned left. The other vehicle went to pass on the left and struck the turning vehicle on the side.

The driver of the vehicle that was struck, 24-year-old Kali Kelly, of Oakland, was transported by Carson Rescue to Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs, for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The other driver, 30-year-old Megan Jefferson of Treynor, was not injured. Both women were wearing seat belts. Officials say Kelly was cited for failure to give a continuous signal.
