A 22-year-old woman was killed in a crash in Pawnee County early Saturday morning.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, Danielle Garcia was driving east on U-25 just west of Larned when she rear-ended a semi which had slowed down to turn into a private driveway.

KHP says she was wearing her seat belt.

The driver of the semi was not hurt. Woman dies in Pawnee County crash

Note: In order to raise awareness and preserve the memories of underride victims — precious ones gone too soon — I have been writing memorial posts on what appear to me to be underride crashes. I am not a crash reconstructionist, and I do not have all the facts on these crashes; but underride should be investigated as a potential factor in truck crash injuries and deaths.
