Woman killed in crash after running stop sign

A crash in western Kansas Tuesday afternoon claimed the life of an Ellinwood, Kan. woman.

Barton County Sheriff Brian Bellendir idenfities the victim as Robin Armstrong, 57.

Bellendir says anĀ investigation indicates Armstrong failed to yield the right-of-way at a stop sign at Southeast 40 Ave and 4th Street. A Mack truck crashed into the driver’s side of her Ford Fusion. Both vehicles wound up in a roadwide ditch.

Bellendir says Armstrong was pronounced dead at the scene by the county coroner. The driver of the truck, Thomas Bussier, 61, of Sawyer, Kan., was not injured in the crash.
