(KAIR)--A Hoyt woman is dead, killed Friday afternoon in a Shawnee County crash, when she swerved to avoid a collision.
Killed was 72-year-old Janice Staerkel, according to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol.
The fatal crash happened when Staerkel was northbound in the right lane of U.S. Highway 75, and swerved to avoid colliding with a vehicle attempting to change lanes.
According to the KHP, Staerkel lost control of her GMC Envoy, which "left the roadway to the right, and overturned multiple times."
The Lawrence woman driving the vehicle Staerkel swerved to avoid was not hurt.
The fatal crash occurred shortly after 1:30 Friday afternoon.
