Deputy Corporal Daniel Abramovitz

(KAIR)-- A Leavenworth County sheriff’s deputy was killed Friday afternoon when his vehicle collided with a school bus, north of Tonganoxie.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 59-year-old Deputy Corporal Daniel Abramovitz was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash at the intersection of 211th street and McIntyre Road.

The Patrol said the driver of the Tonganoxie USD 464 school bus suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital. The lone passenger on the bus, an 8-year-old student, sustained minor injuries and was released to his parents on scene.

The Patrol said the bus was northbound on 211th Street and Abramovitz was westbound on McIntryre Road in an unmarked vehicle. The Patrol said the driver of the school bus failed to yield and Abramovitz struck the bus.

The Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office said Abramovitz had worked at the Sheriff's Office for 26 years and was looking forward to retirement on March 1, 2021. He was most recently assigned to the Investigations Division, where his focus was sex crimes and child sexual abuse cases.
