(KAIR)--One man is dead following an early Wednesday morning rollover crash in Jackson County.
Dead is 30-year-old Clifford Walsh, of Saint George, who’s identified as the driver of a Nissan Maxima that rolled over into a rocky ravine on the east side of K-62 Highway, south of 254th Road.
According to a release from Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, Walsh was trapped in the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.
His 17-year-old passenger, Emma Johnson, of Manhattan, was able to free herself, and her infant child, from the wreckage, and went to a nearby home to call for help.
She, and the child, were transported by Jackson County EMS to Topeka’s Stormont-Vail for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
According to Morse, the fatal crash happened when Walsh lost control of the southbound car while negotiating a curve, shortly after 2:15 Wednesday morning.
Assisting at the scene were the Soldier, Holton, and Prairie Band Pottawatomi Nation Fire Departments.
