(KNZA)--An elderly Topeka woman died Tuesday afternoon after the car she was driving left U.S. 75 Highway north of Topeka and landed upside down in a creek.
The Kansas Highway Patrol identified the victim as 76-year-old Susan Lenoir.
The Patrol reports Lanoir was northbound when her car left the highway for an unknown reason, struck a road sign and plunged into Soldier Creek. The car flipped upside down and was submerged in water.
Lanoir, who was the lone occupant, was removed from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.
The Patrol says she was wearing a seatbelt when the wreck happened around 2:15 about a half mile south of 35th Street.
