Man Struck and Killed by Garbage Truck

Tragedy struck in southwest Leavenworth County last week when a man was struck and killed by a garbage truck. Although Undersheriff Ron Cranor did not have too many details regarding the truck accident, such as the identity of the man killed, he did report that the accident occurred around noon on Ninth Street, south of DeHoff Drive.

According to Cranor, the man was riding on the back of the truck while on his job collecting garbage when he jumped off. Instead of landing on his feet he fell down and, not seeing him, the truck backed over Cranor. The garbage company involved is Honey Creek Disposal. The street they were on extends for just a short distance into Leavenworth County before coming to a dead end.
