A rural Council Bluffs teenager suffered non-life threatening injuries following a rollover accident early this (Tuesday) morning, in Pottawattamie County. According to Sheriff Jeff Danker, 16-year old Keagan Hedrick, who was wearing his seat belt,  was transported by LifeNet to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, for treatment of broken bones cuts, bruises and other, unknown injuries. Danker said the accident happened near 260^th Street at around 6:20-a.m., as the teen was traveling east on Highway 92, enroute to football practice in Treynor.

The teen told authorities he fell asleep at the wheel of the 2005 Toyota minivan, and when he woke up saw his vehicle had drifted into the oncoming lane of traffic, where another vehicle was approaching. Hedrick swerved to avoid contact and lost control, causing the van to roll several times into the north ditch.

Danker said he wasn’t sure if the teen will be cited for Failure to Maintain Control, he said more importantly he’s just thankful the teen is still alive.
