One man is dead and two others are seriously injured following an accident between a train and a large farm vehicle in northeast Kansas.

The accident occurred just before 5pm on Monday, June 8, near the City of Herkimer in Marshall County. 41-year-old Ryan Friedrichs of Marysville was moving an industrial farm sprayer along a private driveway just south of Harvest Road when he failed to stop at a stop sign at a railroad crossing. His vehicle was struck on the driver's side by a westbound Union Pacific train. Friedrichs was ejected from the vehicle and suffered fatal injuries.

The two conductors on the train, identified as 60-year-old Ricki Robertson of Fairbury, Nebraska, and 40-year-old Ryan Banahan of Endicot, Delaware, each sustained serious injuries and were taken to a Marysville hospital.
