(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 drive 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, from Memphis, Tennessee, was transported to the hospital with suspected minor injuries.

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