The driver of a pickup truck suffered from an apparent medical condition Thursday in Pottawattamie County, causing the vehicle to crash. According to the Iowa State Patrol, a 2006 Chevy pickup driven by 37-year old John Shannon McCreary, of Council Bluffs, was traveling south on Interstate 29 about three-miles north of the Crescent exit. McCreary had a medical issue and lost consciousness, causing his vehicle to crash through a fence and entering 145th Street, which parallels I-29. The pickup continued into a ditch on the west side of 145th, rolled over, and finally came to rest in a farm field.

McCreary, who was wearing his seat belt, was transported by Crescent Rescue to Jennie Edmundson Hospital, in Council Bluffs.
