HUMBOLDT — A Nevada, Mo., man was killed in a semi-truck accident east of Humboldt Monday evening.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported Jayson L. Wessley, 52, Nevada, was southbound on the highway when his truck, a 2007 International, went left of center.

The truck narrowly missed striking a northbound vehicle as it careened into the east ditch, and struck and became wedged in the overpass along Georgia Road. The overpass is one mile east of Humboldt or five miles south of Iola.
