A man from Nebraska faces possible charges following a single-vehicle accident this (Saturday) morning, in Council Bluffs. Authorities say at around 3:18-a.m., Council Bluffs Police and Fire Department responded to the area of I-80 and I-29 for a single vehicle crash during which the vehicle had left the road.

The vehicle, a black 2006 Chevy Impala, had been driven by a 26-year old man from LaVista, NE.,  south bound on I-29 and was merging onto westbound I-80, when the car went out of control and went off the north side of the roadway. The driver – whose name was being withheld pending notification of family – was transported by rescue squad to the hospital with what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries. Operator Control of the Vehicle and Alcohol are believed to be the primary contributing factors in the crash.

The ramp from I-29 South to I-80 West had to be shut down for approximately 1 hour.
