ABILENE - A Colorado man died after being struck twice on Interstate 70 (I-70) late Thursday night in Dickinson County.
According to information from Dickinson County Sheriff Jerry Davis, deputies responded at 11:49 p.m. Thursday to I-70 near mile marker 267 just east of Solomon.
Just prior to the arrival of deputies, Timothy S. Dalton, 34, of Peyton, Colo., was struck by two vehicles that were traveling east on I-70, Davis noted. Although life saving measures were attempted, Dalton was pronounced dead at the scene. Dalton’s vehicle was located at the scene, parked off of the roadway.
During the initial investigation last night, the eastbound lanes of I-70 were closed and traffic was diverted.
Occupants of the first vehicle that struck Dalton were not injured.
Melissa A. Wilson, 32, of Lenexa, and Amanda R. Coots, 34, of St. Joseph, Mo., were occupants of the second vehicle that struck Dalton and were transported to Abilene Memorial Hospital in stable condition, the sheriff reported.
According to Davis, the incident remains under investigation.
