One man was killed in a train-pickup crash in northwest Osage County on Thursday.
The incident was reported about three miles south-southeast of Burlingame and seven miles north of Osage City just after 10 am. The Kansas Highway Patrol says 62-year-old Ronald Neilson of Scranton was westbound on 189th and failed to yield to an approaching Burlington Northern Santa Fe train.
Neilson was pronounced dead shortly after authorities arrived on scene. It’s unclear why Neilson began crossing the tracks.
