A man was seriously injured in a single car wreck on Highway 163 Thursday afternoon.
The driver, 62 year old Steven Henry Klein, suffered from an illness that caused him to lose control of his Mitsubishi Endeavor traveling eastbound at just after 4:30 p.m. The vehicle crossed through both lanes of traffic, before coming to a rest in the westbound ditch at mile marker 41. Klein suffered numerous injuries, and his SUV was totaled. He was transported to Mercy in Des Moines by helicopter, and his condition has not been released. The Pella Police Department, Pella Fire, Pella Ambulance, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, and the Iowa State Patrol responded.
