(KNZA)--A six-year-old Sabetha girl has died from injuries received in a two-vehicle Brown County wreck.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reports Taya Mooney died late Tuesday at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, where she had been transported following the Sunday evening wreck on U.S. 75 Highway at 260th Road.

The Patrol says Mooney was a passenger in a 1973 Volkswagen that was struck in the rear by a semi-tractor trailer while the vehicle was stopped waiting to make a left turn.

The driver of the car, 27-year-old Sabetha resident Heidi Nichols, was transported to the Sabetha Community Hospital with suspected serious injuries.

Another passenger in the vehicle, 7-year-old Sabetha resident Emery Mooney, received suspected minor injuries but was not transported.

The semi driver, from Texas, was not hurt.
