A followup to an accident report we brought you earlier this week. The Kansas Highway Patrol is now reporting that a second child critically injured in that one car accident near Preston has died from his injuries.
The patrol says 5-year-old Navaeh Smallwood of Turon died Thursday after being hospitalized at Wesley Medical Center since Monday’s accident on K-61 about a mile north of Preston.
Another child, 2-year-old Craigjohn Vanzandt of Turon died at the accident scene.
The patrol says 27-year-old Ginny Coates of Turon lost control of her vehicle, which went off the road and came back on the highway before rolling three times and coming to rest on its wheels.
Coates and 6-year-old Jessica Coates of Turon were treated at Pratt Regional Medical Center and released after the accident.
No one in the vehicle was restrained according to the Kansas Highway Patrol report.
