(KNZA)--Two people are dead after a semi and pickup truck collided Friday morning in Brown County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reports it happened shortly after 8:00, at the U.S. 75/K20 junction.

Dead are both Topeka residents traveling in the truck, 64-year-old David Provorse, the driver, and his passenger, 62-year-old Marcia Provorse.
Both were wearing seatbelts.

Their truck was struck when the semi, westbound on K20, "failed to stop at the stop sign" at the junction, causing the Freightliner to strike the Provorse's Ford F150 broadside, with the impact causing the Freightliner to roll onto its side in the ditch.

The driver of the semi, 26-year-old Edward Bullmaster, of St. Joseph, Missouri, and his 36-year-old passenger, Clay Lutz, of Rushville, Missouri, were both transported for the treatment of what the KHP calls suspected minor injuries at the Sabetha Community Hospital.

Both men were buckled up at the time of the fatal crash.
