One fatality has been reported at the scene.
Northbound U.S. 169 was closed by police in Spring Hill.
Faithful reader/contributor SuperDave (no- not Osborne) says the crash was just south of 199th Street.
David said it appeared to be a rear-end type of crash- with the fatality in the front vehicle.
Another unidentified reader told CSW that the crash was "a T-bone-" and that it involved a red pickup truck and a black SUV.
The reader also said that northbound U.S. 169 was still closed as of 3:30 p.m..
Monday morning- authorities released details on the crash as well as the names of those involved...
Sixty-eight year-old Curtis Kent Lawrence of Iola KS died when his 2003 Pontiac ran a red light at the off-ramp of U.S. 169 at 199th Street and slammed into the back of a pickup truck being driven by Arthur F. Jensen of Olathe.
Mr. lawrence died in the crash- Mr. Jensen was not hurt.
Thanks much for the tips folks- you are my reporters in the field!

All I know was the accident was just south of 199th and U.S. 169 highway. Was two vehicles suppose to have be a rear ending type wreck with lead vehicle driver being the fatality.
Black SUV appeared to be T boned by red pick up. Highway still closed as of 3:30 pm.
It was a Pontiac Vibe that rear-ended the big red truck. Truck had stopped at the light, the Vibe didn't slow down much. Fatality was the driver of thr Vibe.
After reviewing my information and talking to some others I see why my earlier information was wrong. I was told facts based on how they saw the cars sitting after the fact which can sometimes be very misleading.
Next time I will either see myself or wait till I can get info from a crediable source before stating.
My condolences as well to the Lawrence family.
