A man from Council Bluffs was transported to a hospital in Omaha in critical condition after he was struck by a vehicle this (Tuesday) morning. Bluffs Police say 60-year old Clifford Guild was struck by a vehicle driven by 25-year old Jessica Sawyer, of Council Bluffs, at around 8:30-a.m., in the 3800 block of Avenue G.

When officers arrived at the scene, Guild was unresponsive, and officers were unable to obtain a pulse. He was transported to Creighton University Medical Center. An initial investigation determined Guild was crossing the street, and for an unknown reason, crossed in front of the vehicle, driven by Sawyer.

Authorities say at this time, speed and/or alcohol do not appear to be factors in the accident. This case is currently under investigation by the Council Bluffs Police Traffic Unit.
