WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - Authorities say the driver of a taxi company’s minivan veered into oncoming traffic on a Kansas highway and killed another motorist.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the crash happened around 6:50 a.m. Wednesday on U.S. 160 on the eastern edge of Winfield. The victim was identified as 39-year-old Joshua Mosqueda. He was behind the wheel of the car that was hit.

Cowley County Sheriff David Falletti said in a news release that the minivan was owned by Best Cabs Inc. of Wichita. The release says the van’s driver was taken to a hospital for unknown injuries.



Company owner Timothy Armbrust said he couldn’t immediately comment because he is still trying to determine what happened.

Winfield is about 35 miles (56 kilometers) south of Wichita.
