16-year-old dies in crash after truck collides with car in Basehor
A teenager was killed in a wreck late Tuesday night in Leavenworth County, according to a Kansas Highway Patrol crash log.
Troopers responded to the crash around 9:15 p.m. at 155th Street and State Avenue in Basehor.
Preliminary information from troopers shows that Cody L. Lamping, 16, was driving a 2005 Toyota passenger car south on 155th Street as a 68-year-old man drove a 2017 Chevrolet pickup truck west on State Avenue.
Lamping allegedly ran a red light at the intersection of the two roads, and the Chevrolet pickup struck the driver’s side of the Toyota at highway speed, the highway patrol said.
Paramedics transported Lamping to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
The 68-year-old man was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
Both Lamping and the man were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash, the highway patrol said.
Basehor is about 25 miles west of Kansas City.
The crash remains under investigation.
