(KNZA)--A Leavenworth man was killed and another person seriously injured in a one-vehicle crash early Saturday morning in Leavenworth.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says 41-year-old Jeremy Head was eastbound in the 700 block of Shawnee Street at a high rate of speed when his Chevy Corvette went airborne before landing back on the roadway. The vehicle rotated, striking a curb, a tree and a building before coming to stop.
Head was pronounced dead at the scene.
His passenger, 32-year-old Margaret Spain, of Leavenworth, was transported to a Kansas City hospital with suspected serious injuries.
The Patrol said neither occupant was wearing a seat belt when the crash occurred shortly before 4:00 Saturday morning.
