(KNZA)--A late Monday afternoon two-vehicle Brown County crash claimed the life of a Hiawatha man.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says killed in the wreck on U.S. 36 Highway, about six miles west of Hiawatha, was 47-year-old Ronnie Meyers.

The Patrol says Meyers was eastbound when his Chevy Cavalier struck the rear of a semi that was attempting to turn into a private driveway shortly before 5:00.

Meyers, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The semi driver, 53-year-old Wetmore resident Martin Lawrence, received possible injury but the Patrol report does not indicate he was transported to a local hospital.
