Saturday, April 14, 2007

A Cottonwood Falls woman was killed Friday in an accident 10 miles east of Marion.

Jeris Louise Wunderlich, 26, had been driving east on Kansas Highway 150 when she lost control on the icy road, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol. Her Chevrolet turned sideways in the road and was hit by a westbound semi driven by Dale Tajchman of Lincolnville, 39.

Both vehicles went into the north ditch and Wunderlich was partly ejected from the car. She was pronounced dead at the scene and her body was taken to the Shawnee County Coroner in Topeka.

Tajchman was not injured.
