Three people lost their lives in a fiery accident on Monday in Wilson County.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, a vehicle driven by 40-year Curtis Wilkins of Cambridge was headed westbound on U.S. 400 when he crossed the double yellow line and crashed head-on into a vehicle driven by 39-year-old Tiffany Bekemeier of Aurora, Missouri who was eastbound on U.S. 400.

Both vehicles caught fire and came to rest in the eastbound lanes. Both drivers were killed in the crash as well as 18-year-old Randy Lynn Carlisle, also of Aurora, who was a passenger in Bekemeier's vehicle.

It is not known what caused Wilkins to cross the center line.
