A 20-year-old Holton woman and a 42-year-old Valley Falls woman died in a head-on crash Tuesday morning on Kansas Highway 4 northwest of Perry Lake, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

A highway patrol report said the southbound 2002 Saturn car driven by Jourdan Albee of Holton drifted left of the center line for an unknown reason and collided with a 1996 Honda Odyssey driven by Mary E. Sands of Valley Falls. The crash occurred at 9:30 a.m.

According to the accident report released Tuesday evening, neither driver wore a seat belt.

Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Herrig said the crash occurred near the intersection of K-4 and Decatur Road, which is 5.5 miles north of Meriden.
