The Pottawattamie Sheriff’s Office, Monday evening, identified the second victim of Friday’s fatal accident as 17-year old Michael Bent, from Council Bluffs. The State Medical Examiner’s Office will make the official identification later in the week. A vehicle that was reported to have been involved in the incident has also been located. An investigation into the involvement that this vehicle may have had in the crash, is ongoing.

As we reported over the weekend, deputies with the Pott. County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched at around 1:23-p.m., Friday, to the area of Pioneer Trail and Humbolt Lane for a two-vehicle accident with injuries. Upon arrival, deputies located a 2017 Ford F-350 and a 1998 Honda CRV involved in the accident. The Ford F-350 was driven by 46-year old Rollin Hansen, of Council Bluffs. Hansen was eastbound on Pioneer Trail near the intersection with Humbolt Lane. The driver of the Honda CRV had not been determined. The Honda CRV was westbound on Pioneer Trail near the intersection with Humbolt Lane. The two vehicles collided near the intersection, causing both to travel into the south ditch and the Honda CRV to overturn. One occupant of the Honda was identified as 17-year old Floyd Quick, of Council Bluffs.

Quick and Bent were pronounced dead at the scene. Bent’s identity had not been released until today (Monday). The initial investigation indicated speed was a factor, and that another vehicle was involved and failed to stop.
