A 22-year-old Kansas woman died after a head on-crash Christmas Day in northeast Kansas.

The incident was reported at 8:41 a.m. along Kansas Highway 7 in Doniphan County. The crash victim was identified as Katlyn Folsom of Troy, according to a Kansas Highway Patrol crash log.

A 37-year-old Kansas woman was heading north on K-7 in a 2012 Toyota Tundra, while a 22-year-old Kansas woman was southbound on in a 2002 Chevy Suburban. For unknown reasons, the Tundra crossed the center line and struck the Suburban head on, according to the report.

Folsom died at the scene. She was the passenger in the Suburban. Both drivers were taken to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joe with minor injuries, the KHP said.

What's next for EVs as Trump moves to revoke Biden-era incentives?
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order promising to eliminate what he incorrectly labels “the electric vehicle mandate” imposed under former President Joe Biden. His order on Monday is consistent with pledges Trump made on the campaign trail to end what he calls a “preposterous” focus on EVs by Biden and other Democrats. The order, along with other steps expected in a second Trump administration, could slow U.S. efforts to address climate change, much of which is caus

Stellantis will move forward on plan to build new midsize truck in Illinois
Chrysler parent Stellantis is moving forward with plans to build a new midsize pickup truck in Belvidere, Illinois, the company said on Wednesday, ending months of conflict with the United Auto Workers union over delays, and strengthening its U.S. production footprint as President Donald Trump takes office. Stellantis in 2023 agreed to build a new $3.2 billion battery plant and invest $1.5 billion in Belvidere to build new midsize trucks by 2027, but delayed the plans in August. The Italian-American automaker told employees that it would stick with these investment plans on Wednesday in a memo seen by Reuters.
