Authorities say a 2009 Chevy Cobalt driven by 30-year-old Malka Bingham, of Omaha, was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes, when the car struck a 2012 Dodge Durango SUV driven by 22-year-old Efrain Flores, of Sioux City. Both vehicles came to rest in the southbound lanes of I-29. Bingham suffered life-threatening injuries in the crash and was transported by Council Bluffs EMS to the UNMC, in Omaha. A passenger in the car, 22-year-old Aaliyah Draine, of Omaha, died at the scene. Bingham and Draine were not wearing seat belts.

Efrain Flores was injured in the collision, and transported by Missouri Valley EMS to CHI Health in Missouri Valley. Flores’ injures were described as non-life threatening. The Patrol says after the vehicles came to rest, a third, southbound vehicle came upon the crash scene and went out of control in the debris field left behind by the crash. The driver took evasive action, causing their vehicle to enter the west ditch, where it rolled over.

The driver of the third vehicle was not injured. Their name was not released in the report. The accident was under investigation.
