(KNZA)--A rural Horton man has died from injuries received in an Atchison County wreck earlier this month.

According to an obituary from Horton's Dishon-Maple-Chaney Mortuary, 76-year-old Gary Swendson died Wednesday at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City.

Swendson was flown to the hospital following the December 13 wreck on U.S. 159 Highway, north of Muscotah.

The Atchison County Sheriff's Department said another vehicle struck a deer that had ran into the roadway, sending the deer airborne into the oncoming lane of traffic, crashing into the driver's side window of a pickup truck driven by Swendson.

The deer, smashing through the window, struck Swendson before exiting the passenger side back window.

Funeral mass for Swendson will be held Monday morning at 11:00 at St. Leo's Catholic Church, in Horton.

Among survivors are his wife, Carol, and two sons.
