(KNZA)--A two-vehicle collision Tuesday afternoon on K-4 Highway at the Shawnee/Jefferson County line claimed the life of a Topeka man.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says killed in the wreck was 67-year-old Thomas Prescott.
The Patrol says Prescott was northbound when a southbound SUV attempted to pass two slower vehicles to avoid a rear-end collision and struck his car head-on.
The driver of the SUV, 37-year-old Topeka resident Henry Carey, Jr., was transported to a Topeka hospital for the treatment of minor injuries.
The Patrol says both drivers were buckled up when the wreck occurred shortly after 4:30 Tuesday afternoon.
