The Kansas Highway Patrol says a third child has died after a crash east of Ottawa earlier this week. The patrol says 12-year-old Elle Bowden, of Wellsville, died this morning Friday October 5th. She was injured Monday night October 2nd in a two-vehicle collision five miles east of Ottawa at the intersection of Tennessee Road and K-68. Two other children, 11-year-old Briana Sobba, and 3-year-old Becham Klemen, both of Wellsville, died in the accident. The children and a 6-year-old girl were all in a vehicle driven by 31-year-old Clytie Bowden. The patrol says she failed to yield to another vehicle and they collided at the intersection. Bowden and 6-year-old Lillian Klemen were hospitalized in critical condition. 40-year-old Craig Evans, the driver of the other vehicle, was also hospitalized.
