(KNZA)--A three-vehicle wreck on U.S. 24 Highway near Perry Thursday afternoon claimed the life of an Oskaloosa woman and left two others injured.
THe Kansas Highway Patrol says killed in the wreck at the intersection with Thompson Road was 57-year-old Leanna Hickman.
The Patrol says Hickman was northbound on Thompson Road when she pulled out in front of a westbound semi tractor-trailer on U.S. 24. The semi struck Hickman's car and then struck an eastbound pickup truck driven by 58-year-old Ozawkie resident Wade Fischer head-on.
Hickman was pronounced dead at the scene.
Fischer and a passenger in his vehicle, 45-year-old Valley Falls resident Wade Jepson, were both transported to Topeka's Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center with what the Patrol described as disabling injuries.
The semi driver, 57-year-old Woodward, Oklahoma resident Gary Dowdy, was not hurt.
The Patrol says all the occupants were wearing seatbelts when the wreck occurred around 2:45.
