In an update to our previous report, Council Bluffs Police said this (Wednesday) morning, that a 60-year old man who was hit by a vehicle Tuesday morning, has died from his injuries. Clifford Guild had been listed in critical condition following the accident that happened at around 8:30-a.m., Tuesday, in the 3800 block of Avenue G. Guild was struck by a vehicle driven by 25-year old Jessica Sawyer, of Council Bluffs. He was transported to Creighton University Medical Center, where he later died.

An initial investigation determined Guild was crossing the street, and for an unknown reason, crossed in front of the vehicle, driven by Sawyer. Authorities said speed and/or alcohol did not appear to have been factors in the accident. The case remains under investigation by the Council Bluffs Police Traffic Unit.
