The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened at the intersection of 230th Street and Mulberry Road, northeast of Hiawatha, around 5:00.

According the Patrol report, 13-year-old Jace Twombly, of Hiawatha, was driving a Polaris Ranger northbound on Mulberry Road and a Ford pickup truck was eastbound on 230th Street when the vehicles collided in the intersection.
