Four people were injured Wednesday afternoon, during a rollover accident in Council Bluffs. Authorities say the accident happened a little after 1:30-p.m., on southbound I-29 near the Avenue G Exit.

When Council Bluffs Fire Department paramedics and law enforcement arrived on the scene, they found a Chevy Trailblazer that had rolled off of the interstate. Four passengers were inside the vehicle at the time of the accident and all were transported to Nebraska Medicine in critical condition. As of the latest report, three of the passengers were still in critical condition, including the driver of the vehicle, Conrado Munoz, who is from Nebraska.
