Police in Council Bluffs say one person was injured after a vehicle rolled over early this (Friday) morning off of Interstate 480. The accident happened at around 2:40-a.m. on I-480 westbound. An investigation determined a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am driven by 32-year old Sophia Jenkins, of Council Bluffs, was traveling west on the north side of the interstate, when her vehicle traveled down an embankment, crashed through a fence, and ended up in a construction area.

Jenkins was transported to Creighton University Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries. Authorities say alcohol and speed appear to be contributing factors to the crash. Jenkins faces charges that include Failure to Maintain Control, Driving While Disqualified, and Failure to Provide Proof of Insurance.
