Lake Park Man Changes Plea In Osceola County Vehicular Homicide

Sibley, Iowa — A Lake Park man has changed his plea to guilty in connection with the death of a Lake Park woman in July of 2020.

According to online court records, 49-year-old Christopher Michael Bosma entered a written plea of guilty on Monday, in Osceola County District Court.

Just over a year ago, Bosma had entered not guilty pleas to one count of Vehicular Homicide-Intoxication, a Class B Felony and one count of Vehicular Homicide-Reckless Driving. a Class C Felony, in the death of 34-year-old Kelsie Sturm of Lake Park.

Authorities say in the late afternoon of July 18, 2020, Bosma was the driver of a Polaris Ranger 900XP that was eastbound on the Ed Winkel Memorial Trail and turned north onto Warbler Avenue and allegedly accelerated recklessly causing Sturm, a passenger, to be ejected from the vehicle. Sturm later died of her injuries.

Bosma will be sentenced at a later date.
