Over the weekend, a pickup truck drove straight into the front of an automobile, killing a 23-year-old member of the Kansas Air National Guard Staff Sgt Cheyanne Branson.

Saturday night at 10:45 p.m., an accident occurred in southern Jefferson County on K-163 near 3rd Street. The Kansas Highway Patrol reports that a Chevy Silverado traveling east of the center line collided with an oncoming Chevy Cruze.

Staff Sgt. Cheyanne Branson, the vehicle’s driver, was killed instantly. The pickup’s driver, a 35-year-old guy from Kansas City, walked away unharmed.

In a press statement, the Kansas Air National Guard 190th Air Refueling Wing claims that Branson served for four and a half years as a career development specialist. She was originally from Diana, Texas, according to the patrol’s online crash log.

“Our sympathies are with her family, friends, loved ones, and fellow Guardsmen,” said Col. Brian Budden, commander of the 190th ARW. Cheyanne was an exceptional Airman who touched the lives of many. One of our “rock stars,” I told her.

The Kansas State Patrol is currently looking into the collision.
