Three people from Council Bluffs were injured during a single-vehicle rollover accident Sunday night, in Harrison County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2003 Ford Explorer driven by 35-year old Brandy Huddleston was traveling south on Interstate 29 at around 9:05-p.m., when the suv partially entered the grassy median. Huddleston over-corrected, sending the vehicle out of control. It rolled over and came to rest in the west ditch.

Two of the three occupants, Huddleston, and her passenger, 30-year Raylnn Francisco, were flown by separate LifeNet helicopters to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs. Another passenger, 21-year old Ramsey Edenburn, was transported by ambulance to the hospital in Missouri Valley. The Patrol says Huddleston and Edenburn were wearing their seat belts, but Francisco was not.

The crash, which happened a few miles south of Modale, remains under investigation.
