May 23, 2015 at 11:21PM

A 19-year-old Sebeka woman was killed in a rollover crash while fleeing police in Hubbard County on Friday afternoon.

Hailey D. Bergstrom was traveling east on Hwy. 200 at speeds reaching 100 miles per hour when she lost control and her car entered a ditch, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.

Bergstrom's 2004 Ford Taurus rolled multiple times, ejecting her from the car. She was not wearing her seatbelt and airbags didn't deploy, authorities said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Bergstrom was fleeing officers from the Hubbard County Sheriff's Office during the crash near LaPorte, authorities said. The State Patrol is investigating.
