A Western Kansas man is dead after a two-vehicle crash late Saturday morning.
It happened just after 11 a.m. at an uncontrolled intersection about 17 miles north of the Kearny/ Hamilton County line.
Kansas Highway Patrol crash logs show Manuel Perea, 58, of Syracuse, was traveling northbound on Road B when his Chevy Silverado pickup collided with a semi truck traveling eastbound on Road 320.
Perea was rushed to the Kearny County Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The KHP reports neither driver was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
The driver of the semi, 32-year-old Tyler Bontrager, of Syracuse, was also taken to the hospital with injuries.
