HOLSTEIN, IA : A 20-year-old Sioux Falls woman was flown to Mercy Medical Center on April, Thursday 13th 2017

A 20-year-old Sioux Falls woman was flown to Mercy Medical Center -- Sioux City with suspected serious injuries Thursday evening after a single-vehicle crash along Highway 20 in Ida County.

The Iowa State Patrol says the crash, which occurred shortly before 8:30 p.m. Thursday, happened after the driver of the vehicle, who sustained minor injuries in the crash, was distracted by his cell phone.

According to a crash report, Amanda Lee Conklin was the front seat passenger in a 1995 Honda Civic driven by Zachary Ryan Rosburg, 24, of Sioux Falls.

The two were traveling east on Highway 20 when Rosburg was distracted by his phone and crossed the center line. The report said Rosburg corrected and went onto the shoulder of the road, then over-corrected the opposite direction, crossing both lanes and entering the north ditch. The car vaulted over a driveway and landed in a field, and Conklin was ejected through the side window, according to the report. She was not wearing a seat belt.
