Ellsworth Woman Killed in Crash

An Ellsworth woman was killed in a single-vehicle rollover crash.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, 63-year-old Janice Perkins was driving a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee headed north on a rural road. For an unknown reason she went off the road. As she  over corrected, the SUV slid sideways into a ditch and rolled. The Jeep continued rolling up the embankment, went through a wire fence, and came to rest upright in a pasture.

Perkins, who was not bucked up, was ejected in the crash and died.

The crash happened Wednesday morning in rural Ellsworth County on 105 Road,  8.5 miles south of Wilson.
