Kansas man dies after pickup truck strikes semi-truck along U.S. 160, KHP says
A 49-year-old Kansas man died Friday after his pickup truck collided with a semi-truck in south-central Kansas.
The man was identified as Joseph Bailey of Kingman, a Kansas Highway Patrol crash log entry shows.
The crash occurred at about 10:28 a.m. along U.S. Highway 160 in Harper County. Bailey was westbound on U.S. 160 in a 2005 Ford F-150 when for unknown reasons it went left of the center line, sideswiping a light pole and barrier, according to the report.
The truck continued west on U.S. 160 for about a block and then struck a semi that was heading east on U.S. 160. The truck bounced off the semi’s trailer and hit the front of a 2004 Chevy Silverado.
Bailey was taken to Patterson Hospital where he died from his injuries, the KHP said.
The driver of the semi, a 59-year-old Missouri man, was not injured in the crash, neither was the 66-year-old Kansas man in the Silverado.
