(KLZA)-- A two-vehicle wreck on U.S. 75 Highway in Richardson County claimed the life of a Little Rock, Arkansas man.
The Richardson County Sheriff's Office said 25-year-old Norbert Rungano died from injuries received in the wreck around 8:00 Monday morning, just north of the Kansas-Nebraska State Line.
The Sheriff's Office said Rungano lost control of his southbound 2019 Dodge Charger, which crossed the center line and collided head-on with a northbound semi tractor-trailer hauling cattle.
The semi was driven by 60-year-old Walter Oswalt of Nixa, Missouri.
Both drivers were transported to the Sabetha Community Hospital. Rungano was later transported to Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka, where he died.
Sabetha Fire and Rescue and Morrill Fire responded to the scene of the wreck.
