(SUMNER COUNTY, Kan.) — A woman dies after a crash along the Kansas Turnpike.  It happened just south of the Mulvane exit late Sunday.

A trooper tell us a 15-year-old was driving his mother's car on the way home to Texas when he somehow left the road, struck an abandoned vehicle, and spun out on the highway.

A truck full of teenagers stopped to help...then a third vehicle struck the car in the road, hitting a woman and two teenagers.

The 32-year-old woman was taken to a Wichita hospital, where she later died.

The woman's 15- and 9-year-old sons as well as the teens who stopped to help were all treated at the hospital but are expected to be okay.
