Police in Council Bluffs say a medical condition apparently caused a crash that sent a total of five people to the hospital Thursday afternoon. Witnesses told police a green, Ford F-350 pickup was traveling west on Interstate 80 near the Mall of the Bluffs, when the vehicle swerved across the median and into oncoming traffic. The truck, driven by Rodney Schueman, of Oakland, struck a Hyundai Sante Fe Sport, driven by Kyel Moo, of Omaha, Nebraska. The accident happened just before 2-p.m.

Authorities suspect Schueman had a medical issue, because the investigation revealed he was slumped over the wheel when his truck drove across the median into oncoming traffic. The pickup sideswiped the SUV. The driver of the SUV and three of his passengers, all of whom are from Omaha, suffered minor injuries and were transported by ambulance to Mercy Hospital. Schueman was also transported by ambulance to Mercy Hospital, where he was being treated for the initial medical issues and minor injuries sustained from this accident.
