(MSC News)--A six-month-old child was among the four who were killed Sunday afternoon in a double vehicle Jefferson County crash.
Haley Askew died along with her parents, 35-year-old Travis Askew and 27-year-old Ashley Askew, as a result of the wreck, which happened on U.S. Highway 24, just west of Perry.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the family lived in Basehor.
Also dead is 56-year-old Ronald Heston, of Oskaloosa. He was behind the wheel of a pickup truck that smashed head on into the minivan driven by Travis Askew.
The Patrol says Heston had been westbound on the highway when his truck left the roadway and ran onto the north shoulder. He overcorrected, and that sent the pickup into the eastbound lane where the fatal crash occurred.
Two other children in the Askew vehicle, 5-year-old Linda and 3-year-old Lilly, were both transported to Topeka's Stormont-Vail for the treatment of injuries they suffered in the wreck that happened around 3:20.
The Patrol says Heston and Ashley Askew were not buckled up, but everyone else was properly restrained at the time of the crash.
