Parsons teen killed in five-vehicle crash on wet road
An 18-year-old Parsons woman was killed Wednesday afternoon in a five-vehicle crash near Fredonia in Wilson County, according to a Kansas Highway Patrol crash log.
Breunca Taylor was killed when her 2001 Buick Regal lost control while heading west on the wet U.S. 400 about seven miles west of Fredonia shortly before 12:30 p.m.
Her vehicle went left of center and was struck by a semitrailer truck traveling east. Her car was then struck by a 2014 Ford Escape traveling west behind her.
The semi continued to the east, went left of center and struck a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix before sideswiping another semi.
The driver of the Ford Escape sustained injuries, according to the crash report. No one else was injured in the crash.
