(KAIR)--A Leavenworth driver escaped injury, but a Kansas City, Kansas man is dead, following a rear-end crash Thursday morning in Leavenworth County.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the fatal crash happened around 7:30 Thursday morning as both vehicles were eastbound on U.S. Highway 24, at the intersection with 174th Street, in Basehor.

Killed in the crash was 48-year-old Marvin Giron-Ardon. He was the driver of a Chevrolet Tracker that attempted a left-hand turn onto 174th, but was struck by a GMC Sierra truck, driven by 27-year-old Heath Moore, of Leavenworth.

Moore, who was not buckled up at the time of the wreck, escaped with only a possible injury, and was not transported. A 40-year-old passenger in Giron-Ardon's vehicle was transported to the University of Kansas Hospital due to a suspected minor injury. He, and Giron-Ardon, were both wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
