One of the people injured in a crash in Reno County Wednesday has died from his injuries.

The accident happened on K61 Highway near Lake Cable Rd.

86-year-old Norman Abrahams of North Newton died from his injuries.
Ethel Abrahams is in fair condition, as is Barbara Friesen. 87-year-old Winifred Ewy is in critical condition. The driver, Lester Ewy, has been released from the hospital.

KHP troopers say a passenger car carrying the people crossed into the path of the semi on the highway. The car was broadsided. The truck driver was not injured.

K61 reopened at 4:30 p.m., nearly three hours after the accident happened.
