FREDONIA – A Kansas teenager died in an accident just before 1p.m. on Wednesday in Wilson County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2001 Buick Regal driven by Breunca K. Taylor, 18, Parsons, was westbound on U.S. 400 seven miles west of Fredonia.

The driver lost control on the wet roadway. The vehicle went left of center and was struck by an eastbound semi driven by Norman K. Klink, 51, Joplin, Mo.

After the collision with the semi, a westbound 2014 Ford Escape driven by Mary E. Blasi, 32, Park City, hit the Buick.

The semi continued eastbound, went left of center and struck a westbound 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix driven by Brandon W. Ramsey, 36, Fredonia, and side-swiped a westbound semi driven by Brian A. Baldridge, 44, Burrton.

Taylor was pronounced dead at the scene and transported to Frontier Forensics.

Blasi was transported to Fredonia Hospital.

Klink, Ramsey and Baldridge were not injured.

The KHP reported all were properly restrained at the time of the accident.
