BEATRICE – A Topeka, Kansas woman was killed in a one-vehicle accident Sunday morning, east of Manhattan.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reports a westbound 2008 Honda Accord, went off U.S. Highway 24, west of St. Mary’s Kansas.  The car went off the right side of the highway.  Investigators say the driver apparently overcorrected, crossed the middle lanes and went off the left side.  The KHP said the driver overcorrected again, rolling the vehicle.

Authorities say 22-year-old Alexis Brianna Ward, of Topeka, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene.   Investigators say she was not wearing a safety restraint. 

The accident happened at around six a.m., Sunday.
