Kathryn E. Cusick, 66, of Emporia, was killed late Tuesday morning in a two-vehicle accident in Pratt County.
According to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, Cusick was driving a 2002 Mercury Sable east on U.S. Highway 54 when the car went left of center and struck an oncoming 2006 Dodge pickup truck that was pulling a gooseneck horse trailer.
The KHP report listed a possible medical condition as a potential cause of the accident. Cusick was wearing a safety restraint.
The driver of the pickup, Gregory W. Stierwalt, 42, of Harper, was not injured, nor were three passengers in the truck — Jeremy Hunter, 25, Cade Stierwalt, 14, and Zach Stierwalt, 11, all of Harper.
All were wearing safety restraints.
