(KNZA)--A Wednesday morning two-vehicle Brown County wreck claimed the life of a Falls City, Nebraska man and left another man with serious injuries.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened around 8:45 on Horned Owl Road near the junction with 300th Road, about six miles east of Morrill.

According to the KHP report, 22-year-old Martin Richbourg, of Falls City, was  northbound and approached a curve at the same time as a southbound car driven by 40-year-old Tad Alfrey, of Seneca. The report said Alfrey swerved to avoid Richbourg's car, which was traveling northbound in the southbound lane. Both vehicles swerved and collided in the northbound lane.

A passenger in the Richbourg vehicle, 36-year-old Andrew Vaughn, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Richbourg was life-flighted to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, with suspected serious injuries.

Alfrey was not hurt.

The Patrol says Alfrey was the only occupant in either vehicle wearing a seatbelt at the time of the wreck.
