(Update 4:15-p.m) The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office reports a missing Denison girl has been found safe! She was located after an extensive search that began at around 10-a.m., Saturday. They added on a social media post, “Thanks to everyone involved. God bless you for your prayers and help.” A search party was quickly formed that eventually grew to nearly 700, both first responders and volunteers. Aircraft were used, along with drones employing heat-seeking gear and dozens of people on ATVs and even on horseback scoured Crawford County for the girl. She was found Saturday afternoon, some 20 hours later, hiding under a bed in her own house. It’s still unclear how long she’d been there, or if she’d been there all along.

The Council Bluffs Police Department reports an accident occurred on Friday night at the I-80 eastbound entrance ramp at Highway 6 involving a tractor-trailer and vehicle. At 6:44 p.m. Officers responded to the scene and determined that the tractor trailer had mistakenly taken the Highway 6 exit and was attempting to get right back on the interstate. As the semi was traveling across the traffic lanes of Highway 6 it broadsided a vehicle that was traveling northbound. The northbound lanes of Highway 6 were shut down while the accident was investigated.

The driver of the vehicle was taken to UNMC in Omaha for treatment of unknown injuries. The accident is being investigated by the Council Bluffs Police Department Traffic Unit and no names are being released at this time.
