(KNZA)--A two-vehicle Brown County wreck Tuesday morning claimed the life of a Horton man.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says killed in the wreck at the intersection of U.S. 75 and K-20 Highways was 48-year-old Joseph Taisipic.
The Patrol says Taisipic was a passenger in a southbound Ford Focus that had stopped on U.S. 75, preparing to turn onto K-20, when the vehicle was struck in the rear by a southbound semi tractor-trailer.
The driver of the car, 46-year-old Willis resident Ronald Brook, was transported to Topeka’s Stormont Vail Hospital for the treatment of possible injuries.
The semi driver, 46-year-old Page, North Dakota resident Joseph Little, was not hurt.
The Patrol says all the occupants were wearing seatbelts.
The wreck, which was reported shortly before 7:00, closed down a portion of U.S. 75 for several hours.
