(KMZA)--A two-vehicle early Thursday evening Nemaha County wreck claimed the life of a Topeka woman and left two other Topeka residents injured.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened on 216th Road about two miles east of K-71 shortly after 6:00.
The Patrol reports 43-year-old Irene Centeno-Fajarzo was eastbound when she attempted to pass another eastbound vehicle and lost control of her car. She overcorrected and her vehicle crossed the roadway, striking the rear bumper of the other vehicle before entering the ditch and striking a wooden power pole.
Centeno-Fajarzo, who was wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A passenger, 26-year-old Janier Montoya-Anguilar, was transported to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka with suspected serious injuries.
A second passenger, 19-year-old Gilbert Centeno, was transported to the Sabetha Community Hospital for the treatment of suspected minor injuries.
The driver of the second vehicle, 20-year-old Sabetha resident Charles Kuenzi, was not hurt.
