A Polk County woman died during a rollover accident Saturday evening near Scranton. The Iowa State Patrol says 20-year old Sydney Thomas, of Des Moines, died when the vehicle Thomas was in rolled over multiple times. Thomas, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene.

The accident happened at around 6:50-p.m. Saturday on Highway 25, just north of 280th Street, in Greene County. The Patrol says a 2005 Chevy Malibu driven by 20-year old Ashley Andrews, of Scranton, was traveling south on Highway 25, when the vehicle went off the shoulder of the road. Thomas grabbed the steering wheel and tried to help Andrews correct the path of the vehicle, but her actions caused the car to over-correct, and go out of control, according to the report.

The car entered a ditch and rolled twice. Andrews, who was wearing her seat belt, suffered minor injuries and was transported by Scranton Fire and Rescue to the Greene County Medical Center.
