(KNZA)--Authorities say a man driving the wrong-way in a northeast Kansas highway construction zone was killed when his pickup truck collided with a tractor-trailer.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 33-year-old Christopher Frank of McFarland died after the crash early Sunday on Interstate 70 near Paxico.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says Frank drove eastbound in the westbound lane, with construction in that area having reduced traffic to one lane.

The trucker was treated a Topeka hospital, and a passenger in his semi rig wasn't hurt.
