Le Mars crash leaves 5 hospitalized after vehicle rolls several times, ejecting all occupants

Five individuals were hospitalized after a Le Mars crash ejected all five from their vehicle Friday night, according to an Iowa State Patrol crash report.

A PT Cruiser was southbound on Key Avenue, north of C38, at about 8:13 p.m. Friday when it entered the east-side ditch, striking a culvert and rolling several times.

The five occupants, ranging in age from 18 to 21 years old, were all ejected from the car. None were wearing their seatbelts, according to the report.

Wing Air Rescue transported two individuals to MercyOne Siouxland Medical Center; two others were transported to MercyOne via Le Mars Ambulance. The fifth individual was taken via private transportation to Floyd Valley Healthcare.

Officials continue to investigate the incident and aren't yet sure who was driving during the vehicle when the accident occurred.
