(Council Bluffs) A man faces numerous charges following a carjacking in Council Bluffs.
Police say the incident happened at around 8:23 p.m. in N. 16th Street and Avenue G. The suspects’ vehicle rear-ended another vehicle. As the victim exited his vehicle to survey the damage, the suspect, identified as 33-year old Zachary White, jumped into the driver’s seat of the victim’s car and drove away. The victim’s wife sitting in the passenger seat fell out of the vehicle onto the roadway suffering serious injury. White continued westbound towards Omaha, causing several accidents. The Council Bluffs Police Department and the Iowa State Patrol stopped White with a PIT maneuver on the Iowa side of the 480 bridge.
Rescue personnel transported the White to UNMC for injuries sustained during the series of accidents and carjacking. Police will charge White with robbery, and additional charges are pending.
