RUSSELL, Kan. (KAKE) - A cement truck driver was killed when the vehicle crashed in central Kansas on Wednesday.

The accident happened at around 2:30 p.m. on U.S. 281 north of Russell. The Kansas Highway Patrol says a northbound cement truck went off the left side of the roadway and through a private fence. The truck then went airborne and rolled an unknown number of times.

The driver, 28-year-old Mason Roach of Great Bend, died at the scene. The patrol's online crash log states he was not wearing a seat belt.

It's unclear what caused the truck to go off the roadway. 

It was one of two fatal crashes involving a cement truck in Kansas on Wednesday. In Washington County, a cement truck blew a tire and crashed into a Honda CR-V, killing the Honda's driver.
