(KMZA)--An early Friday morning Pottawatomie County head-on collision claimed the life of a Belvue woman.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says killed in the crash on U.S. 24 Highway about two miles west of St. Marys was 54-year-old Kathy Cummings.
The Patrol reports for an unknown reason a pickup truck driven by 19-year-old Joseph McIntrye, of St. Marys, was traveling westbound in the eastbound lane when he struck a SUV driven by Cummings head-on.
Cummings was pronounced dead at the scene.
McIntrye was transported to Topeka's Stormont-Vail Hospital with suspected minor injury.
The Patrol says both drivers were buckled up when the wreck occurred shortly after 7:15.
The wreck closed down a portion of Highway 24 for about 7 hours.
