(KMZA)--A Wamego woman has died from injuries received in a two-vehicle crash early Friday morning in Pottawatomie County.

The Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office, in a release Monday, identified the victim as 22-year-old Mary Miller.

The Sheriff's Office says Miller was traveling eastbound on Highway 24 near Belvue, around 6:45 Friday morning, when she lost control of her car due the icy/snowy road conditions and crossed the center line into the westbound lanes.

Her car struck a westbound pickup truck driven by Kelly O'Neill, of St. Mary's.

Miller was transported to a Topeka hospital where she died.

O'Neill was taken to the Wamego Health Center and treated for minor injuries.

The Sheriff's Office says both drivers were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
