(KNZA)--An Oskaloosa man was killed and three others were injured in a 3-vehicle crash early Friday afternoon in Douglas County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says a Ford Focus was westbound on U.S. 40 around 12:45 when it went into the eastbound lanes, striking the rear driver side tire of a cargo van after the driver attempted an evasive maneuver into the right ditch.

The Focus then continued westbound in the eastbound lanes and collided head-on with a pickup truck.

The driver of the pickup, 51-year-old Leonard Schupp, was pronounced dead at the scene.

His passenger, a 15-year-old girl, was transported to Topeka's Stormont-Vail Hospital with suspected serious injuries.

The driver of the Focus, 29-year-old Zachary Odum, of Tecumseh, Kansas, was transported to the hospital with suspected serious injuries.

The driver of the cargo van, a Memphis, Tennessee man , was transported to the hospital with suspected minor injuries.

The Patrol says Schupp was the only occupant not wearing a seat belt.
