KDOT worker killed in southwest Kansas accident
A southwest Kansas man killed in a rollover accident has been identified as a longtime employee of the state transportation department.
Jeffery Harris, 43, of Hugoton, suffered fatal injuries in the crash Monday about 11 miles south of Ulysses.
The Highway Patrol said Harris was driving a Kansas Department of Transportation tractor-trailer when it veered off Kansas 25, overcorrected and rolled over in a ditch. He later died at a Wichita hospital.
KDOT said Harris was a 14-year agency employee. He worked as a senior equipment operator out of the Hugoton office.
