One person is dead and another injured after a head-on collision on US-281 in Stafford County, shortly before 7:30AM Friday morning.

Killed was 40-year-old Jeffrey Ehlert of Haysville. The other driver, 22-year-old James W. Abel III, was taken to the Stafford County Hospital for treatment.

Ehlert was southbound on U-S 281, while Abel was northbound. Ehlert apparently crossed the center line striking Abel’s semi.

Authorities are reporting that heavy fog could be to blame for the head-on collision between the two semis.

Estimated visibility in the area was reportedly less than 300 feet.
