Police in Council Bluffs say one person was injured during a single-vehicle accident Thursday night. The Omaha World-Herald reports 39-year old Wayne A. Beberniss, of Council Bluffs, suffered a broken neck and several lacerations, after the car he was driving went out of control in the 3600 block of West Broadway Street and hit a raised median before it also slammed into a guardrail and bounced-off into the median. The accident happened at around 11-p.m.

Rescue personnel used a mechanical device to remove Beberniss, who was trapped in his 1989 Ford Mustang. He was transported to Creighton University Medical Center for treatment of serious injuries.
Police said speed and reckless driving were likely contributing factors in the crash.
