Teenage girl killed in rollover crash

LINCOLNVILLE -- A 16-year-old girl from Kansas City, Mo., Kelly Anne Weakley, was killed Friday night when the car she was riding in rolled in a ditch. Another passenger, Keven Joe Lockwood, 24, Herington, was flown by air ambulance to Wesley Medical Center, where he was listed in fair condition Saturday afternoon.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported that Zachariah Markus J. Remmers, 23, Herington, was driving east at 8:08 p.m. Friday on 290th Road and lost control when the car hit a couple of potholes. The car began to skid on the road and Remmers lost control, entering the north ditch and rolling 1Ôªø1âÑ2 times at the driveway at 2574 290th, about 2Ôªø1âÑ2 miles east of Lincolnville. The car came to a stop on its driver's side, facing north and against a steel fence.

Remmers was taken to Herington Municipal Hospital with possible injuries, according to the patrol. His condition was not released.

All three occupants in the car were wearing seat belts.
