Council Bluffs woman dies in Nebraska accident

July 15, 2015 By Matt Kelley

Ambulance-genericA young woman from southwest Iowa has been identified as one of the people killed in a car crash Tuesday in eastern Nebraska.

Investigators believe speed was a factor in the crash which likely happened sometime before 6 a.m. The car — which landed upside down in a bean field — wasn’t discovered until shortly before 5 p.m.

The Cass County (Nebraska) Sheriff’s Department reports the vehicle went through a stop sign, struck an embankment and flew over a fence into the field.

The vehicle wasn’t visible from the highway, but workers with a lawn care service noticed track marks off the road and then spotted the car in the field. Both people inside the car were killed; 22-year-old Jeremiah Ferguson of Omaha and 21-year-old Kelsey Leclaire of Council Bluffs.
