(KAIR)--An Atchison woman is dead, killed Tuesday morning in a single vehicle roll-over wreck in Atchison County.

According to a release from Atchison County Undersheriff Toby Smith, 26-year-old Laporshia Seymore was transported to Amberwell Atchison by Atchison County EMS, where she died of her injuries a short time later.

A one-year old child in the vehicle suffered only minor injuries in the wreck.

Both were ejected from the vehicle at the time of the wreck, which occurred shortly after 10:00 Tuesday morning.

According to Smith, the investigation shows that Seymore was southbound on U.S. Highway 73, near 242nd Road, when her Hyundai Santa Fe, for unknown reasons, left the roadway onto the right shoulder. Seymore over-corrected, causing the vehicle to skid back onto the highway, where it rolled over, ejecting Seymore and the child.

Three other children, one three-year old and two 5-month old children, were also in the vehicle. While the youngest two of the three escaped injury, the three-year old received a minor injury to an arm.

According to Smith, the investigation into the fatal crash is ongoing.
