(KNZA)--A Topeka woman is dead, killed as the result of a two vehicle Monday afternoon crash in Jackson County.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse identified the victim as 72-year-old June Rockey.
A news release from Morse says the fatal wreck happened around 12:40 at 190th Road and U.S. Highway 75.
Citing the initial investigation report, Morse said Rockey’s SUV crossed the highway eastbound from the entrance of a convenience store, and was struck on the passenger’s side by a northbound pickup truck.
Rockey was transported by Jackson County EMS to Stormont Vail Regional Medical Center, in Topeka.
Nine hours after the crash, Morse confirmed her death.
He said she was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the wreck.
The two occupants of the pickup truck, both from Sanborn, Iowa, refused medical treatment.
Morse, in the release, said the intersection “has been a site for many injury accidents throughout the years including a fatal accident that occurred there on June 27, 2018.”
Assisting the Sheriff’s Office and EMS were the Potawatomi Tribal Police, the Kansas Highway Patrol, and the Mayetta, Hoyt, Holton, and Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation fire departments.
