Authorities in Mills County say one person was injured during an accident Wednesday morning, on Highway 34. Dennis Schroeder, of Malvern, was transported to Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs by Pacific Junction Rescue, after his 2013 Volkswagen crashed in a construction zone.

The Sheriff’s Department says Schroeder was traveling west on Highway 34 near the intersection with 195th Street  at around 11:30-a.m. Wednesday, when his car hit several road construction cones and continued westbound. The car then left the road to the right before hitting a highway sign and post. It also hit a light pole and entered an embankment before coming to rest in the north ditch at the northbound entrance ramp to Interstate 29.
