(KNZA)--An Atchison woman was killed Monday evening in a head-on collision with a wrong-way driver in Leavenworth County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says killed in the collision at the intersection of U.S. 73 Highway and 179th Street, about three miles northwest of the city of Leavenworth, was 61-year-old Deborah Frans.

The Patrol says 29-year-old Kyle White, of Hiawatha, was driving a pickup truck eastbound in the westbound lanes of U.S. 73 when he struck a westbound SUV driven by Frans head-on shortly after 7:00.

Frans was pronounced dead at the scene.

White was transported to the University of Kansas Hospital, in Kansas City, with suspected minor injuries.

The Patrol says both drivers were wearing seat belts and were alone in their vehicles when the wreck occurred.
