(KNZA)--A Tuesday morning two-vehicle Doniphan County wreck claimed the life of a St. Joseph, Missouri man.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened on U.S. 36 Highway, west of K-238 at Elwood, shortly after 8:30.
The Patrol says 59-year-old Raymond Sauter was westbound when his Honda Accord struck the rear of a semi tractor-trailer that was traveling at a low speed.
Sauter, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The semi driver from Massachusetts and a passenger from Utah, who was in the sleeper section of the semi, were not hurt.
The wreck closed down a portion of U.S. 36 for a period of time.
