Kansas woman dies after crossing lanes, striking semi-truck
A 35-year-old woman died Wednesday morning after crossing lanes and striking a semi-truck in southeast Kansas.
The victim was identified as Leisa Snyder of Altoona, Kansas, according to a crash log from the Kansas Highway Patrol.
The incident was reported at 10:35 a.m. along Kansas 47, about four miles east of Altoona in Wilson County.
Snyder was heading west on K-47 in a 2005 Saturn Ion. At the same time, a semi-truck was eastbound on K-47. Snyder crossed the center line and struck the rear axle of the semi, the KHP said.
Snyder died at the scene of the crash. The driver of the semi, a 35-year-old man from Decatur, Georgia, was not injured, the crash report shows.
