A Coffeyville man is killed in a crash on Highway 166 east of Coffeyville.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 59-year-old Kevin Hooper was riding an electric bicycle eastbound across the Verdigris River bridge shortly before 6:00am this morning. Hooper was struck from behind by an eastbound semi driven by 66-year-old Timothy Smith of El Dorado. Troopers say the semi struck the bicycle because it was traveling at a slower speed.

Hooper died at the scene. Smith was not injured. The crash happened about a mile and a half east of the Highway 169 junction.
