One person died Sunday afternoon during a rollover accident on Interstate 29  in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol says 33-year old Miki Lynn Bailey, of Council Bluffs, was trapped in her SUV and had to be extricated by fire and rescue personnel. Officials say Bailey’s 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee was traveling north on I-29 at around 2:10-p.m. near the 43.85 mile marker, or about two-miles south of Council Bluffs,  when a non-contact vehicle slowed for a slow moving vehicle in the right hand lane.

When Bailey swerved to avoid a collision, the Jeep went out of control and entered the median, before rolling over. Bailey, who was not wearing a seat belt, was flown from the scene by LifeNet helicopter to the University of Nebraska Medical Center, where she died from her injuries. The accident remains under investigation.
