A Wellington man died Tuesday morning when his Harley Davidson collided with a truck and trailer in Sumner County.
Curtis W. Proffitt, 55, was westbound on U.S. 166 Highway, about four miles east of South Haven, when a truck pulling a U-Haul trailer turned into Proffitt’s motorcycle, according to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol. He was dead at the scene.
The driver of the 2005 Chevy pick up truck was identified as Connie Ray Herman, 52, of Friona. She was not injured.
The highway patrol said Herman was attempting to make a left turn from the eastbound lane of 166 when her truck collided with the motorcycle.
The accident occurred around 8:15 a.m.
