Kansas Highway Patrol: Woman killed in crash near Parsons

(AP) — The Kansas Highway Patrol says a southeastern Kansas woman has died in a crash involving her car, a pickup truck, and a semitrailer. The patrol says the crash happened Monday evening on U.S. 400 about 10 miles east of Parsons. Investigators say 44-year-old Mandy Karstetter, of McCune, was eastbound and had slowed or stopped to turn left when a pickup rear-ended her car. The patrol says the car was pushed into the westbound lane and was hit by an oncoming semitrailer. Karstetter was pronounced dead at the scene. The two other drivers were not hurt.
