Authorities in Pottawattamie County are investigating the circumstances surrounding a school bus rollover accident Thursday afternoon, near the Pott/Mills County line. Sheriff’s Department Chief Investigator, Sgt. Dwayne Riche told KJAN news this (Friday) morning, the accident happened at around 3:20p.m. on Applewood Road.
A Lewis Central Community School District bus driven by 73-year old Floyd Claussen, of Council Bluffs, was traveling southbound on the gravel road, when he met an approaching car. When he pulled the bus over toward the edge of the road, Riche says either the tandem wheels slid off into the ditch, or the road gave way, which caused the bus to topple onto its side, into a ditch.
Claussen, and three students on-board the bus, all of whom are also from Council Bluffs, where transported to area hospitals. Claussen, and 11-year old Gage Lewis were taken by Lewis Township Fire and Rescue to Jenny Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs. 14-year old Logan Harman, and 12-year old Paige Hickey were transported by Council Bluffs Fire and Rescue to the Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha. A report on their conditions is not available, but their injuries reportedly including scrapes and bruises, and were not considered to be life threatening.
The accident remains under investigation.
FOR MONONA-HARRISON-SHELBY-POTTAWATTAMIE-MILLS-MONTGOMERY-FREMONT & PAGE COUNTIES IN WESTERN IOWA….
THERE IS A SLIGHT RISE FOR SEVERE STORMS ACROSS ALL OF THE OUTLOOK AREA BEGINNING LATE THIS AFTERNOON IN NORTHEAST NEBRASKA…THEN THROUGH THE EVENING ACROSS THE REST OF EASTERN NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA. LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARD WITH DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS A SECONDARY CONCERN.
INCREASING HUMIDITY ON SOUTH WINDS ALONG WITH AFTERNOON HEATING WILL PRODUCE A VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE IN THE OUTLOOK AREA. A STATIONARY FRONT DRAPED ALONG THE SOUTH DAKOTA BORDER SHOULD PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON…AIDED BY A MID LEVEL WAVE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. ANY STORM THAT DEVELOP NEAR THIS STATIONARY WILL HAVE A SMALL CHANCE TO PRODUCE A TORNADO. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT OR DEVELOP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REST OF EASTERN NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA DURING THE EVENING…WITH LARGE HAIL POSSIBLE.
SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY…
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE AGAIN POSSIBLE SATURDAY EVENING AND SATURDAY NIGHT. A VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE IN PLACE SATURDAY AFTERNOON BUT WARM MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES SHOULD CAP ANY DEVELOPMENT UNTIL A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. THAT FRONT SHOULD BE MOVING INTO NORTHEAST NEBRASKA DURING THE EVENING…THEN SWEEP THROUGH THE REST OF EASTERN NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA OVERNIGHT. LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY
THUNDERSTORMS…EVEN THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS…AS INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN HIGH.
Jim Field speaks with Erica Katton of Narcanon Arrowhead Agency about underage drinking prevention.
