The vehicle went off the right side of the road and overturned, coming to rest on its wheels.

Emily Schmidt of Laredo was the driver of an SUV that struck a van after it had gone out of control on a snow-covered Highway 136, four miles west of Albany on Wednesday morning. Ms. Schmidt, whose vehicle was westbound, was not reported hurt. The driver of the van, Sarah Williams of Stanberry, and four other passengers were taken to the Northwest Medical Center by private vehicle for treatment of minor injuries.
The patrol said the Williams vehicle was westbound and went out of control, traveling across the eastbound lane and striking a guardrail. When the vehicle re-entered the road, it was struck by the Schmidt vehicle, which was also westbound. Both vehicles came to rest on the south side of the road and both received moderate damage.
