(KMZA)--Slick road conditions contributed to a two-vehicle Pottawatomie County wreck late Monday night that claimed one life and left two others injured.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says killed in the wreck on U.S. 24 Highway near Camp Creek Road was 38-year-old Sarah Salinas, of St. Marys.

The Patrol says Salinas was driving a car eastbound and 51-year-old Donald Ebert, of Louisville, was driving a pickup westbound when both vehicles lost control on an icy bridge. Ebert’s pickup struck Salinas car head-on in the eastbound lane.

Salinas was pronounced dead at the scene. She was a 911 dispatcher for the Wamego Police Department.

Ebert and a passenger in his vehicle, 50-year-old Clay Center resident Corina Roudybush, were both transported to Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka.

The Patrol says Ebert and Roudybush were both buckled up, while Salinas was not, when the wreck occurred around 11:15 Monday night.
