(KAIR )--A two vehicle crash in southwest Jefferson County left two dead Friday morning.
The Kansas Highway Patrol identifies the victims as 66-year-old Gerald Baxter, of Clay Center, and 65-year-old Carla Polson, of Blue Rapids.
Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Herrig tells MSC News the fatal crash happened in Grantville, on U.S. Highway 24, at Barton Road.
Baxter and Polson were traveling in a van driven by Baxter, eastbound on U.S. Highway 24, when a car, northbound on Barton Road, failed to yield, striking the van on the right side, causing it to lose control and roll over several times.
No one in the car was hurt, including driver Hannah Stark, and two children, all of Grantville.
They were all wearing a seat belts at the time of the crash.
Three other passengers in the van, all from Clay Center, were transported to Topeka's Stormont Vail for treatment of their injuries.
They include 64-year-old Ruth Baxter, who suffered disabling injuries.
Also injured was 61-year-old Barbara Jean Stewart, while 61-year-old Robert Stewart suffered possible injuries.
Another passenger in the van, Martha Hanson, of Riley, was not hurt.
The Patrol says she and Ruth Baxter were not buckled up at the time of the wreck, which happened around 7:10 Friday morning.
