Merchant says a Chevy pickup driven by 41-year-old Hiawatha resident Curtis Windmeyer was southbound on Prairie Road and a Dodge Ram pickup driven by 31-year-old Highland resident Matthew Cluck was westbound on 240th Road when the two vehicles collided.   

Both drivers were transported by ambulance to the Hiawatha Community Hospital.  Windmeyer was later transported by helicopter to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City.

The wreck remains under investigation.
