(KNZA)-- A two-vehicle late Wednesday morning Brown County crash on U.S. 75 Highway north of Sabetha claimed two lives and left another injured.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says killed in the crash at the junction with K-246 Highway were the drivers of both vehicles, identified as 80-year-old Council Bluffs, Iowa resident James Hunter and 47-year-old Douglas Rehfeld of Overland Park.

The Patrol says Rehfeld was westbound on K-246 when he failed to stop at a stop sign and entered U.S. 75 Highway where his SUV was struck broadside by a southbound pickup truck driven by Hunter which was pulling a trailer.

A passenger in Hunter’s vehicle, 70-year-old Carol Hunter, of Council Bluffs, was transported to the Sabetha Community Hospital with unspecified injuries.

The Patrol says all the occupants were wearing seatbelts. The wreck was reported shortly after 11:40.
