MOORHEAD, Iowa (AP) — A teenager has died after being involved in a rollover car crash in western Iowa. The Sioux City Journal reports 16-year-old Shelby Montange was pronounced dead at the scene of the Friday morning crash outside of Moorhead. The driver, 15-year-old driver Sidney Solberg, tells the Monona County Sheriff’s Office she lost control of the car on black ice and went into a ditch off a county road.

Officials say Solberg and another 12-year-old passenger, Braiden Solberg, were both injured and taken to Burgess Hospital in nearby Onawa for treatment. The two passengers were reportedly not wearing seatbelts when they were thrown from the vehicle. Officials with the sheriff’s office say they don’t know the extent of the injuries.

Authorities are still investigating the crash.
