Rochester woman dies of injuries sustained in car crash

A Rochester woman has died of her injuries in a Saturday single-vehicle crash.

Just before 3:30 p.m., emergency personnel were dispatched to area of CR 50 N and CR 200 W for a single vehicle crash with personal injury. When deputies arrived, they observed the vehicle off the east side of the roadway.
Preliminary investigation by Deputy Ryan Utter with the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office revealed a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse driven by Kyla Ellinger, 23, of Rochester was traveling south on CR 200 W. For an unknown reason the vehicle exited the east side of the roadway striking a communication box.  The vehicle then rolled several times and Ellinger was ejected during the crash.

Ellinger was the sole occupant of the vehicle and treated by emergency personnel on scene before being flown by Lutheran Air to a trauma center. She has since died of her injuries.
Ellinger was not wearing her seat belt at the time of crash. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office says speed and alcohol are suspected factors in the crash. 
Assisting the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office at the scene were the Rochester Fire Department, and Lutheran EMS & Air.
