(KNZA)--A two-vehicle Monday evening Jackson County wreck claimed the life of an elderly Topeka woman.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says killed in the wreck at the intersection of U.S. 75 Highway and 190th Road about five miles south of Holton was 80-year-old Helen Nolan.
The Patrol reports Nolan was eastbound on 190th when she attempted to cross U.S. 75 and failed to yield to a southbound semi-tractor trailer. Her PT Cruiser was struck by the semi.
Nolan was pronounced dead at the scene.
The semi driver, 55-year-old St. Marys resident Steven Akin, was not hurt.
The Patrol says both drivers were buckled up when the wreck happened around 7:00.
