Woman dies in Nemaha County crash Thursday

A woman died in a car crash about four miles south of Sabetha, in Nemaha county, on Thursday morning. The Kansas Highway Patrol’s crash log identified the woman as 37-year-old Rebecca Crismas, of Wetmore. Three occupants in the van, ages 11, 3 and 1, were injured and transported to area hospitals for treatment. Wayne Mowery, 63, of LaCygne, was driving a semi-trailer westbound on U.S. 36 Highway at West Road when Crismas, driving a 2004 Chevrolet van, failed to yield at a stop sign at West Road. Eastbound and westbound traffic on U.S. 36 was closed from 9 a.m. until 3:15 p.m., said Kimberly Qualls, public affairs manager with the Kansas Department of Transportation.
After an injury car accident, take these steps to help the recovery process

When someone has been injured in a car crash, it's hard to know what to do to help. Injured people need appropriate medial treatment, but they also need to have their civil and legal rights protected.

After a serious crash, several steps need to be taken, including dealing with the insurance companies, tracking and documenting lost income from missed work, coordinating medical bill payments, and handling an insurance claim.
