A Tonganoxie woman was killed and two people injured Tuesday morning in a collision involving three vehicles on U.S. Highway 24 in Leavenworth County.

Rita Dally, 52, died after being taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

Dally was driving a 1997 Dodge van and was stopped preparing to turn off of Highway 24 onto Honey Creek Road south of Tonganoxie when the van was struck from behind by a 1998 Ford sport utility vehicle, the patrol reported.

The collision knocked the van into the westbound lane of the highway where it was struck by the third vehicle, a 1996 Buick.

The driver of the Buick, Timothy Bohannan, 29, Topeka, and a passenger, Mike Bohannan, 30, Merriam, were transported to LMH. Timothy Bohannan was in fair condition Tuesday night and Mike Bohannan was treated and released, a nursing supervisor said.

The driver of the Ford SUV, Sara Schlicht, 16, Tonganoxie, was not injured, nor was a passenger, Rob Schlicht, 14, also of Tonganoxie.
