(KNZA)--A Holton woman has died from injuries received in a two-vehicle Jackson County wreck Tuesday morning near Mayetta.
The Kansas Highway Patrol reports 29-year-old Rachael McCoy died Wednesday at Topeka's Stormont-Vail Hospital where she had been transported following the wreck at the intersection of U.S. 75 Highway and 158th Road.
The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, in a press release, said McCoy was employee of the Tribe.
The Patrol says McCoy was crossing the highway from 158th Road when her pickup truck was struck by a car.
McCoy was thrown from the vehicle.
Two passengers in her truck, a 7-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl, suffered suspected serious injuries and were also transported to Stormont-Vail Hospital.
Also transported to the hospital with suspected serious injuries was the driver of the car, 83-year-old Lyndon, Kansas resident Wayne Dunn.
Dunn was the only occupant who was buckled up at the time of the wreck.
