Kansas teen named in fatal crash with deer
HAYS, Kan. (AP) A western Kansas teen has died after a sport utility vehicle collided with a deer and overturned.
The Kansas Highway Patrol identified the victim as 16-year-old Hope James of Dighton. She was a passenger in a SUV whose driver swerved Friday night in an attempt to miss a deer.
The driver hit the deer anyway and drove off the shoulder of Interstate 70 in Ellis County. The driver then overcorrected and rolled. The vehicle landed on its top, hitting a fence.
The patrol said four other people in the SUV were injured. Everyone was wearing a seat belt.
