An Arizona girl was killed in a head-on crash on U.S. Highway 50 in in southwest Kansas. The Kansas Highway Patrol says that the child, Isabella Rodriguez-Rivera, 7, was a passenger in a Volkswagen Tiguan that tried to pass a vehicle Tuesday at around 1:50 p.m. near the highway’s intersection with County Road 118 in Ford County.

A woman, 29, from Mesa, Arizona, who was driving the Volkswagon east on the highway struck a Ford Transit 250 head-on on the westbound shoulder. Both vehicles went into the ditch. The child, also of Mesa, died. Both drivers were hospitalized.
