(KMZA)--An Axtell woman was killed and two Sabetha residents were seriously injured in a three-vehicle wreck Friday afternoon in Marshall County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says the wreck was reported shortly after 4:15 at the junction of U.S. 36 and K-110 Highways, two miles south of Axtell.

The Patrol says a SUV driven by 63-year-old Denise Torrey was attempting to turn left onto K-110 from U.S. 36 when her vehicle was struck by a semi tractor-trailer. Her SUV was then struck by a westbound pickup truck.

Torrey was pronounced dead at the scene.

The pickup driver, 39-year-old Timothy Winkler, was transported to a Lincoln, Nebraska hospital for the treatment of suspected serious injuries.

59-year-old Margaret Winkler, who was a passenger in his vehicle, was transported to a Topeka hospital with suspected serious injuries.

A juvenile passenger was also present in his vehicle, but no information was released on the juvenile.

The semi driver, from Shawnee Mission, was not hurt.

The Patrol says all the occupants were buckled up when the wreck occurred.

( Editor's note: the KHP originally reported the juvenile was a passenger in the Torrey vehicle but later corrected their report)
