A 20-year-old Kansas woman died Sunday after the truck she was riding in smashed into a concrete highway barrier in a rural part of southwest Kansas.
The Kansas Highway Patrol said the crash happened around 3:30 a.m. Sunday along state Highway 1 in Comanche County, which isn’t far from Woods County in northwest Oklahoma.
According to KOCO-TV, the accident report stated that Brittney Marie Turley was a passenger in a 2014 Dodge Ram that veered across the centerline and struck the barrier, but it wasn’t immediately clear what caused the crash. The truck was driven by a 22-year-old relative of Turley.
Turley was taken to Comanche County Hospital where she died. The 22-year-old driver was taken to a Wichita hospital with possible serious injuries.
Both Turley and the driver were from Coldwater, Kansas.
Turley was a cheerleader at the University of Oklahoma.
