(KNZA)--A Sunday morning two-vehicle Jefferson County wreck claimed the life of an Ozawkie teenager.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says killed in the wreck on K-4 Highway in Meriden was 16-year-old Kyler Postma.
The Patrol reports Postma was southbound when for an unknown reason his car went into oncoming traffic, striking a northbound semi-tanker.
Postma, who was wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the semi, 39-year-old Grantville resident Michael Stanwix, suffered possible injury but the Patrol report does not indicate he was transported to a hospital.
The wreck was reported around 9:30 Sunday morning.
Postma was a student at Jeff West High School.
