One person died following an accident at around 6-p.m. Thursday, in Council Bluffs. Authorities say a 21-year old female was driving southbound on East Manawa Drive, when she lost control of her vehicle as it was traversing a curve. The vehicle slid sideways and into on-coming traffic, where it was hit by a northbound SUV. The woman – whose name was being withheld pending notification of family – was critically injured. Council Bluffs Police provided first-aid and used a defibrillator. She was transported to a local hospital where efforts to revive her were unsuccessful.

The driver of the SUV suffered minor injuries in the crash. Both vehicles were a total loss.
