(KNZA)--A Wednesday morning Jackson County crash left one dead and closed a stretch of highway.

That's according to Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, who says the two car collision claimed the life of a Jackson County woman.

The fatal crash was reported shortly before 11:00 Wednesday morning, north of Holton, on U.S. Highway 75. Both lanes were closed through the day Wednesday, with traffic diverted through Holton.

Morse, in a release, says his office and the Kansas Highway Patrol responded to the scene, with Jackson County EMS and Holton Fire assisting.

Specific details, including the name of the deceased, remain unreleased as the investigation continues.
