(KAIR)--An Atchison teenager was killed late Monday morning in a two-vehicle head-on crash in Leavenworth County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 17-year-old Caleb Stricker was northbound on U.S. 73 Highway, south of Lowemont Road, when his car drove across the center line and struck a southbound semi truck head-on.

Stricker, who was wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The semi driver suffered suspected minor injuries but was not transported for hospitalized treatment.

Benedictine College said Stricker was an incoming freshman football player and tweeted "the Benedictine College Community is saddened by his sudden loss."

The crash was reported shortly after 11:00 Monday morning.
