(KNZA)--A Sunday evening one-vehicle Brown County crash claimed the life of a Hiawatha man.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened on U.S. 36 Highway at Goldfinch Road, about 4 1/2 miles east of Fairview.
According to the KHP report, 76-year-old Richard Childress was eastbound approaching Goldfinch Road, when for an unknown reason, his Kia Sorento left the roadway to the north. The vehicle then traveled eastbound in the ditch, striking a highway sign and then Goldfinch Road. The SUV vaulted and overturned multiple times.
Childress, who was ejected from the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene.
He was alone in his vehicle when the crash occurred around 8:30 Sunday evening.
The Patrol says he was not wearing a seat belt.
