Salinan injured in wreck

LAWRENCE -- A one-vehicle collision involving a Kansas State University fan bus resulted in one death and left a Salina man in critical condition.

According to the Lawrence Police Department, the "Cat Tracker," a converted school bus that takes Wildcat fans to games, was involved in a wreck about 11:35 a.m. at the intersection of 15th and Iowa.

Injured in the wreck was Salinan Chris Orr, a former sports writer at the Salina Journal; he was taken by helicopter to a Kansas City hospital, where he was suffering from head injuries.

Lawrence police Saturday night were not yet releasing the name of the person killed in the wreck, and said the cause was still under investigation.
