The Kansas Highway Patrol says killed in the crash on K-7 Highway, north of 318 Road, was 32-year-old Dustin Saunders.

The Patrol says Saunders was northbound when, for an unknown reason, his Ford F-150 pickup truck left the roadway and struck a tree shortly after 10:30.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Patrol says Saunders, who was the lone occupant, was not wearing a seat belt when the crash occurred.
