MILFORD (AP) – A head-on collision in northeastern Kansas has killed two drivers and injured several members of a construction crew riding in a van.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says the crash happened around 7 a-m, Monday on U.S. 77 in Geary County, about one mile north of Milford.

The patrol says a southbound pickup truck driven by 39-year-old Lancy Davis II, of Palmer, crossed the center line and collided head-on with a van driven by 52-year-old Juan Perez, of Wichita.

Six of the seven passengers in the van were taken to hospitals in Topeka, Junction City and Manhattan for treatment of injuries. All of the men were either from Wichita or living in that city.
