The Kansas Highway Patrol is investigating an accident that killed two women from Wichita and left a third woman with serious injuries.
The accident happened around 5:00 p.m. Sunday near Peabody. The Patrol says an eastbound pickup truck made an evasive maneuver to avoid oncoming traffic, went off the road, overcorrected, and struck an SUV when it came back on the roadway.
The driver of the SUV, Latricia Phillips, 49, and passenger Angela Daniels, 49, died. Another passenger, 36, was taken to a hospital. The pickup truck driver, 18, from Wichita, was taken to the hospital for minor injuries.
