RENO COUNTY — A Kansas man died in an accident on Tuesday in Reno County.
A Honda Passport owned by Carl Yoder, 58, Burrton, became stuck in a ditch in the 9000 Block of South Worthington Road, according to the Reno County Sheriff’s Department.
Yoder’s neighbor 64-year-old Steven McLaughlin drove a Ford F150 to help pull the Honda out of the ditch.
After getting the Honda pulled out of the ditch both vehicles were facing southeast in the northbound lane of travel to unhook the tow rope.
As they were standing outside their vehicles, a northbound Dodge pickup driven by Brian Hoopes 40, Burrton, did not see the vehicles. The Dodge struck both vehicles and both men were struck by a vehicle.
First responders performed CPR on Yoder but he died at the scene, according to Deputy Kevin Sipe.
McLaughlin and Hoopes both had non-life-threatening injuries. The accident remains under investigation.
