Mees and a passenger, 32-year-old Jennifer Curbow of Edgerton, were ejected from the vehicle. The vehicle came to rest in the roadway.
The patrol says a southbound van driven by a Gardner, Kansas woman struck Mees’ vehicle before striking Mees , who was laying in the roadway.

The driver of the van was not hurt.
The accident was reported shortly after 1:30 Tuesday morning at Gardner.
