The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2002 Peterbilt semi driven by Irving S. Haney, 53, Topeka, was northbound on U. S. 73 at Polfer Road in Kansas City.
A 2005 Honda Pilot driven by Susan M. Gardner, 39, Independence, Mo., drifted into the semi’s lane.
The semi attempted an avoidance maneuver, but struck the Honda pushing it up the roadway and causing it to spin out. The semi went to the right, and the trailer flipped.
