Keys was pronounced dead at Anderson county hospital in Garnett, said Franklin County Undersheriff Craig Davis. He apparently had been driving along US-169 when the right wheels on his tractor-trailer went off the right edge of the roadway about 5:20 p.m. It appeared that Keys then overcorrected, causing the truck to begin rolling. Davis said the accident began in Franklin County but that the truck and debris ended up in Anderson County. The Kansas Highway Patrol was investigating the exact cause of the accident. No other information was available this morning. (The Ottawa Herald, July 30, 1999)
