(KNZA)--An early Tuesday evening two-vehicle Brown County wreck claimed the life of a Hiram, Georgia man.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened on U.S. 75 Highway about 12 miles south of Fairview around 5:45.

The Patrol says 35-year-old Terry Rush was southbound when he attempted to make a U-turn and his Dodge Avenger was struck by a southbound semi tractor-trailer.

Rush was pronounced dead at the scene.

A passenger in his vehicle, 37-year-old Topeka resident Mary McEwen, was transported to Topeka's Stormont-Vail Hospital for the treatment of suspected minor injuries.

The semi driver, 60-year-old Edwardo Torres, of Eagle Pass, Texas, was not hurt.

The Patrol says all three occupants were wearing seatbelts when the wreck occurred.

It was the second fatal Brown County wreck on U.S. 75 Highway in a 4-day period.  A Humboldt, Nebraska man was killed Saturday night in a two-vehicle wreck about 4 miles south of Fairview.
