Overland Park man, 50, dead after head-on crash with semi pulling trailer on I-70
A 50-year-old Overland Park man is dead after a weekend crash on Interstate 70 in Geary County.
Jon C. Nevins was driving a Kia four-door east on I-70 when he crossed the median into oncoming traffic and crashed head-on with a semi truck pulling a trailer around 5:20 p.m. Sunday, the Kansas Highway Patrol said in a crash report. Nevins was alone in the car when he died.
The KHP doesn’t know why he crossed into the westbound lanes.
The 39-year-old Cincinnati, Ohio, man driving the semi complained of pain from a possible injury but wasn’t taken to a hospital for treatment, according to the crash report.
The collision happened about seven miles east of Junction City.
