Kansas Highway Patrol
(KNZA)--A two-vehicle rear-end collision on U.S. 24 Highway in north Topeka Monday morning claimed the life of a Topeka man.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says killed in the wreck was 36-year-old Dustin Gillespie.
The Patrol says a semi was westbound when it slowed down due to mechanical problems and was struck in the rear by a car driven by Gillespie. The impact caused the car to leave the roadway, where it went down an embankment and came to rest in a field.
Gillespie, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was transported to a Topeka hospital where he died.
The semi driver from Iowa was not hurt.
The wreck was reported near the Goodyear plant shortly before 11:00.
