The Kansas State Highway Patrol says the accident occurred when the southbound 1988 Chevrolet Blazer driven by 74 year old Terry Harper of Frontenac, Kansas was southbound on Kansas Highway 7 when a 1989 GMC truck driven by 64 year old Antonio Gallardo of Miami, Oklahoma failed to yield and backed out of a private drive on the East side of the highway into the path of the Blazer.
Mr. Harper swerved in an attempt to avoid a collision, but the Blazer struck the left front corner of the GMC truck, upon which time he then overcorrected back to the right, causing the Blazer to overturn.
Terry Harper was pronounced dead at the scene of this accident.
