A suspected drunk driver was hurt after being thrown from his SUV after crashing on I-480 westbound to Hwy 75 northbound last night.
Omaha Police says the incident happened around 10:13 p.m. when the driver, Mederith F Scott, lost control on the on-ramp from westbound I-480 to northbound Hwy 75.
The Ford Explorer rolled several times, striking the bridge support.
Police say the Scott wasn't wearing a seatbelt and was thrown from the vehicle. He was taken to CHI Creighton with a broken leg by Omaha Fire Medics.
