(KMZA)--A Marysville woman was injured Thursday afternoon in a single-vehicle wreck in Clay County that claimed the life of the driver of the car she was a passenger in.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says 41-year-old Melissa Haas-Menard was transported to the Clay County Medical Center following the wreck on Broughton Road, southeast of Clay Center.
Killed in the wreck was 49-year-old John Linn, of Clay Center.
The Patrol says Linn was westbound when he came upon slower traffic. Linn swerved to avoid the traffic and lost control of his Ford Mustang, which entered the north ditch and overturned.
The Patrol says Linn was wearing a seatbelt, but Haas-Menard was not, when wreck occurred around 4:00 Thursday afternoon.
