(KNZA)--An early Monday evening single-vehicle Doniphan County crash claimed the life of a Manhattan man.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened on U.S. 36 Highway, about a half mile east of Blackjack Road, shortly before 6:30.

According to the KHP report, 54-year-old Donnell Martin was westbound when his semi truck went off the north side of the highway, hit a culvert and a fence, then continued into a cornfield where it came to rest upright.

Martin was pronounced dead at the scene.

It's unknown where he was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
