CHEROKEE, Kan. (WIBW) – A woman died and a man was seriously injured following a head-on crash Monday afternoon in Crawford County in southeast Kansas, officials said.

The collision was reported at 2:45 p.m. Monday on US-400 highway about four miles west of Cherokee.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, a 2015 Nissan Altima was eastbound on US-400 when it crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a 2001 Dodge Dakota pickup truck that was westbound on the highway.

The Nissan then spun counterclockwise and came to rest in the roadway, while the Dodge truck left the roadway to the right, rolled once and came to rest on its wheels facing south in the north ditch.

The driver of the Dodge pickup truck, Carol S. Sharp, 68, of Altoona, was transported to Mercy Hospital in Joplin, Missouri, where she was pronounced dead. The patrol said Sharp was wearing her seat belt.

The driver of the Nissan, identified as Eric M. Meyers, 38, of Des Moines, Iowa, was transported to Mercy Hospital in Pittsburg with serious injuries. The patrol said Meyers was wearing his seat belt.

Both drivers were alone in their vehicles, the patrol said.
