Three people were killed in a crash on Sunday on I-135 in Saline County, Kansas.

Emergency crews were notified about 1:27 p.m. Sunday about an injury accident on I-135 in Saline County, the Kansas Highway Patrol said in a crash log.

The incident was about halfway between Salina and Lindsborg.

According to the officials, the Chevrolet’s driver was Christopher Lee Giroux, age 24, of Salina. He was declared dead at the scene.

The Dodge’s driver was Phillip Ray Hett, age 39, of Lindsborg. He and a 10-year-old passenger Abigail Hett also died at the scene.

A 13-year-old girl was admitted to Wesley Medical Center. Her injuries were serious.
