Kansas man dies after ejected in I-70 crash

LEAVENWORTH COUNTY — A Kansas man died in an accident just before 10:30p.m. Wednesday in Leavenworth County.

The Kansas Turnpike Authority reported a 2000 Honda passenger car driven by Damon Anthony Butler, 40, Topeka, was westbound on Interstate 70 just east of Tonganoxie.

The vehicle drifted onto the right shoulder and the tires left the road. The driver overcorrected and the vehicle crossed two lanes of traffic. It struck the barrier wall head-on, rolled and the driver was ejected.

Butler was pronounced dead at the scene. He was not wearing a seat belt, according to the KHP.
