(KMZA)--A semi driver from Frankfort was involved in a three-vehicle wreck Sunday morning in Coffey County that claimed the life an elderly man.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says 38-year-old Jason Brammer was not hurt in the wreck on U.S. 75 Highway about 7 miles south of Burlington.
Killed in the wreck was 80-year-old William Castle, of Clearwater.
The Patrol says Castle was driving a pickup truck, which was pulling a camper, that struck the rear of a car that was stopped waiting to turn left onto K-58. Castle then crossed the center line and struck Brammer’s oncoming semi-tractor trailer head-on.
The driver of the car was transported to a local hospital with possible injuries.
The wreck was reported around 10:00 Sunday morning
