(KMZA)--A Goff woman was seriously injured after she was struck by a car late Wednesday morning while authorities say she was attempting to help the victims of a head-on crash that had just occurred on a Nemaha County highway.

The car-pedestrian crash was reported around 11:15 on K-9 highway, about 1.5 miles north of Corning.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, a car driven by 73-year-old Ora Martindale, of Havensville, was southbound when he lost control of the vehicle on the snow-covered road and west into the west ditch, where it struck 27-year-old Jordan Sowers.

Sowers was transported to the Nemaha Valley Community Hospital in Seneca for treatment.

Martindale was not hurt.

A head-on crash had just occurred in the same area, leaving both drivers seriously injured.

The Patrol says a Chevy Tahoe was southbound on K-9 when the driver lost control of the vehicle on the ice-covered road and struck a northbound semi- truck head-on.

The driver of the Tahoe, 43-year-old Eric Breeding, of Centralia, was transported to Community Hospital in Onaga for treatment.

The driver of the semi, 62-year-old Leslie Norris, of Mount Vernon, Missouri, was transported to the Nemaha Valley Community Hospital in Seneca for treatment.

The Patrol says both drivers were wearing seat belts when the wreck occurred.
