Hiawatha man injured in Friday Brown Co wreck

(KNZA)--A late Friday morning two-vehicle Brown County wreck sent a Hiawatha man to the hospital.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it occurred at the intersection of U.S. 73 Highway and Raccoon Road, east of Horton.

The Patrol says 41-year-old Jim Spicer was northbound on Raccoon Road when he failed to yield to a semi on U.S. 73 and entered the intersection.  His GMC truck was struck by the International semi driven by 40-year-old Benjamin Rettele,  of Fairview.

Spicer was transported to the Hiawatha Community Hospital for the treatment of what the Patrol described as suspected minor injuries.

Rettele was not hurt.

The Patrol says both drivers were buckled up when the wreck happened around 11:15.
