One person was killed and five other people were transported to area hospitals for treatment of injuries after a two-vehicle, head-on crash Thursday night on US-75 highway in Osage County, authorities said.

The crash was reported at 7:50 p.m. on US-75 near W. 229th Street. The location was about 2 miles north of Lyndon, and about a mile north of a roundabout junction with K-31 and K-268 highways.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck was northbound on US-75 and was attempting to pass a commercial vehicle with insufficient clearance. The pickup truck then collided head-on with a southbound Dodge Durango sport utility vehicle on the west shoulder of the highway.

A passenger in the Silverado, Jennarene S. Hawkins, 24, of Burlingame, was transported to Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka where she was pronounced dead. The patrol said Hawkins wasn’t wearing a seat belt.
