A head-on collision involving a semi in western Kansas leaves a New Mexico man dead and another man seriously injured.

86-year-old Bruce Greenfield of Las Cruces was traveling eastbound on US-54 near the City of Haviland in Kiowa County around 6:30 last night (Tuesday night). His 2018 Toyota RAV 4 crossed the center line into the westbound lanes and into the path of an oncoming semi. The driver of the semi 39-year-old Adriaan Hanekom of Greensburg, Kansas, attempted to avoid hitting the smaller vehicle but was unable to do so.

The two vehicles collided head-on, killing Greenfield and causing serious injuries to Hanekom.

The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
