A Kansas woman died and two teens were seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash Saturday in Central Kansas.

The woman was identified as Alicia Warwick, 38, of Peabody, a Kansas Highway Patrol crash log shows.

The accident occurred at 9:50 p.m. along U.S. Highway 56 at the Kansas Highway 15 junction, about seven miles west of Hillsboro in Marion County. Warwick was heading north on Kansas Highway 15 in a 2005 Toyota Camry.

At the same time, a semi-truck was heading east on U.S. 56. Warwick failed to stop at a stop sign and struck the trailer of the semi, the KHP said.

Warwick died at the scene. Two 14-year-old boys who were passengers were taken to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita with serious injuries, according to the crash log.

The 34-year-old Texas man driving the semi was not injured.
