(KNZA)-- A two-vehicle collision on U.S. 75 Highway in Brown County Wednesday afternoon claimed the life of a Texas motorcyclist.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says killed in the wreck about two miles south of Sabetha was 77-year-old Arnold Sherrell, of Dripping Springs, Texas.
The Patrol says Sherrell attempted to pass a northbound semi and his Harley Davidson motorcycle was struck head-on by southbound semi-tractor trailer. The semi left the roadway and caught fire.
Sherrell, who was wearing a helmet, was pronounced dead at the scene. The semi driver, 45-year-old Columbus, Ohio resident Tonya Vogt, was transported to the Sabetha Community Hospital for treatment of possible injuries.
The wreck, which was reported shortly before 3:00, closed down a portion of U.S. 75 Highway for a period of time.
