One killed in Brown Co wreck, three injured

(KNZA)--A two-vehicle early Tuesday evening Brown County wreck claimed the life of a Hiawatha woman and left three other Hiawatha residents injured.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened at the intersection of 220th and Plum Tree Roads, northwest of Robinson, around 5:40.

The Patrol says 29-year-old Justin Coelho was driving a Kia Optima westbound on 220th Road when he failed to yield the right-of-way to a southbound pickup truck on Plum Tree Road driven by 22-year-old Quentin Overdick and struck the pickup in the driver’s side.

A passenger in the car, 28-year-old Kami Coelho, was pronounced dead at the scene.  The Patrol says she was not wearing a seatbelt.

Justin Coelho and another passenger in his car, 9-year-old Marc Coelho, along with Overdick were transported to the Hiawatha Community Hospital for the treatment of injuries.
