One person is dead after a two-vehicle accident northwest of North Newton this morning. Emergency responders were dispatched to North Hesston Road and Northwest 36th Street at 7:08 a.m. 

Peter Hartman, 90, of Hesston, was driving a passenger vehicle that collided with a semi-trailer. Hartman was transported in critical condition to a Wichita hospital. He later died of his injuries. The preliminary investigation indicates Hartman was driving southeast on Hesston Road when his vehicle collided with the semi as the semi was attempting to make a right-hand turn from Hesston Road onto 36th Street. There were no passengers in either vehicle. The accident remains under investigation.
