(KNZA)--Heavy fog may have played a role in a two-vehicle Nemaha County crash Thursday morning that claimed the life of a Wetmore woman and left four others injured, including three children.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says the wreck happened shortly before 8:30 at the intersection of U.S. 36 Highway and W Road about 4 miles south of Sabetha.
The Patrol says 37-year-old Rebecca Lynne Crismas was southbound on W Road when she failed to yield at a stop sign and her van was struck by a westbound semi on U.S. 36.
Crismas was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three children in her van, ranging in age from 1 to 11, were injured. One-year-old Jedediah Crismas and 11-year-old Juliana Crismas were both taken to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. 3-year-old Joshua Crismas was transported to the Sabetha Community Hospital.
The semi driver, 63-year-old Lacygne, Kansas resident Wayne Mowery, was transported to Topeka’s Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center.
The Patrol says all those involved were properly restrained.
The wreck closed down a portion of U.S. 36 Highway in Nemaha County for around six hours.

There was no mention of the foggy weather. Which may have been a major factor. A mute point now, however. Prayers for all the victims!

Fog was definitely an issue! Thick patch came through when I got to work which is only 3 miles away from accident. We couldnt even see our other building! Makes me mad that they make it sound like she just ran the stop sign!!! She couldnt see it!
