In an update to our report Saturday, the Council Bluffs Police Department said today (Monday) a man who was injured during an accident Friday night, has died. 59-year old Edward Abraham, of Council Bluffs, died at Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs, where he was being treated for his injuries, and/or other possible medical conditions.

The accident happened at around 7-p.m. Friday, in the 3000 block of 9th Avenue, when a vehicle driven by Abraham rear-ended an unoccupied, parked Ford Crown Victoria. When emergency crews arrived on the scene, Abraham was inside his vehicle and unconscious.

A preliminary investigation indicated Abraham’s vehicle went off the right side of the roadway onto the parking lane striking the Crown Victoria. Both vehicles were pushed about 50 feet west before coming to rest.

The reason for the accident remains unknown, however authorities say a medical condition is being investigated, as well as other possibilities. Impairment was NOT suspected as a cause of the crash, which resulted in the roadway being closed for approximately 1 ½ hours in both directions.
