Kansas man dies after car crashes into tree in McPherson County, troopers say

A man died in a car crash in central Kansas on Wednesday, officials said.

Emergency crews were called at around 11:35 a.m. to an injury accident in the area of Plum and Arrowhead in McPherson County, the Kansas Highway Patrol said in a crash report. One man was pronounced dead at the scene of the wreck.

Investigators determined a 2007 Chevy Impala was southbound on Plum when for an unknown reason the vehicle went into the west ditch, re-entered the road and went into the east ditch. The car then crashed into a tree. The driver who died was identified in the KHP report as Robert Bishop, 66, of Lyons.
