LIBERAL – Law enforcement authorities in Seward County are investigating a car accident that involved the death of a Kansas man.

Just after 8:30p.m. on Monday emergency responders were dispatched to 1350 Jewell Avenue for a reported injury accident where a vehicle had struck a house and the driver was not breathing, according to a media release from Liberal Police.

Responding officers arrived to find a woman standing at the driver’s side door attempting chest compressions on the driver.

The driver was later identified as a 36-year-old man.

He was transported to Southwest Medical Center in serious condition and died.

Investigating officers later learned that the driver was not feeling well and pulled over to switch places with the passenger.

As the passenger made her way around to the driver’s door, the driver pressed on the accelerator and proceeded eastbound in the 1300 block of Jewell Avenue before coming to rest against the front porch of a house.

Authorities are waiting for results of an autopsy. The victim’s name has not been released.
