Marysville man killed when train strikes farm sprayer

(KNZA)--A Marysville man was killed Monday afternoon when a train struck an industrial farm sprayer in northwest Marshall County.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 4:40 p.m. on a private drive south of Harvest Road, about a half-mile west of 7th Road.

The Patrol report says 41-year-old Ryan Friedrichs was driving southbound when he failed to stop at a railroad crossing and yield to a westbound Union Pacific Railroad train. The train struck the sprayer on the driver's side, ejecting Friedrichs from the vehicle.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The train's crew members, 60-year-old Ricki Robertson and 40-year-old Ryan Banahan , were transported by ambulance to Community Memorial Healthcare in Marysville with suspected serious injuries.
