The Kansas Highway Patrol says a Minnesota truck driver has died in a crash in northern Kansas.
The crash happened Monday morning on U.S. Highway 81 in Republic County, killing David Fronning, 33, of Breckenridge, Minnesota.
Investigators say Fronning was driving a semitrailer southbound on the highway when it went into a ditch, hit an embankment and went airborne before crashing into trees, coming to rest on its side in a field. Authorities say Fronning died at the scene.
