COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) - Authorities have rescued a woman who fell into a Council Bluffs culvert.
Firefighters and police were sent to the site near Broadway Skate Park around 9:15 a.m. Sunday. The woman had fallen 15 to 20 feet (4.6 to 6.1 meters) into the Indian Creek culvert and landed on concrete.
Firefighters got her out of the culvert, and she was taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries characterized as non-life-threatening.
It’s unclear whether she fell from a bridge or a water pipe that pass over the culvert or how long she’d been there before a passer-by found her. Her name hasn’t been released.
