Baby Killed, Three Others Injured in Jeff Co Wreck
04/07/2015

(KNZA)--A one-month-old baby girl was killed and three others injured in a two-vehicle wreck on U.S. 24 Highway in Jefferson County Monday afternoon about one mile west of Perry.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says Kaysein Harris, of Lawrence, was in her safety restraint when the wreck happened shortly before 3.

Harris was a passenger in a car driven by 22-year-old Lawrence resident Breonna Emery. The Patrol says Emery was westbound on U.S. 24 when for an unknown reason she moved onto the gravel shoulder. Emery overcorrected, and her car slid sideways across the center line where it was struck by an eastbound pickup truck driven by 32-year-old Eudora resident Aaron Thakker.

Emery, a three-year-old child in her car and Thakker were all transported to Stormont-Vail.
