Lisa Gabrini, 52, of Pleasanton, Kansas, died Monday afternoon, November 9, 2026, after a two-vehicle collision on East 300th Road in Linn County. The Kansas Highway Patrol reported that the crash happened at approximately 3:45 p.m., west of Quail Road.
The collision involved a 2004 Kia Rio driven by Gabrini and a 1999 GMC Sierra travelling in the opposite direction. A deer entering the roadway was part of the sequence of events that preceded the impact, according to investigators.
How the Collision Happened
Gabrini was travelling east in the Kia when a deer reportedly came onto the road from the southern ditch.
She braked and attempted to avoid the animal. During the manoeuvre, the Kia crossed the centreline and began rotating counterclockwise.
A westbound GMC Sierra then struck the front and passenger-side doors of the Kia. The impact sent both vehicles into the northern ditch, where the pickup truck also overturned.
Gabrini sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The GMC driver, a 55-year-old man from Mound City, was not injured.
The highway patrol reported that both motorists were wearing seat belts.
