A 22-year-old Beloit woman was seriously injured when her vehicle left the roadway in a single vehicle crash west of Chase Sunday afternoon.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, Makenzie Becker, 22, of Beloit was eastbound on U.S. 56 just west of 6th Road in Rice County, about 2 miles west of Chase, when for unspecified reasons the 2015 GMC Yukon she was driving crossed the center line and left the roadway on the north side of the highway. After leaving the roadway, the vehicle struck a culvert and overturned, coming to rest on the driver’s side facing north.

Becker was transported to Rice County Hospital in Lyons with what are believed to be serious injuries. A passenger in the vehicle, 35-year-old Michael McEachern of Chase, was not injured in the crash. Both occupants were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash, according to the KHP.
