A man is dead after he was reportedly electrocuted inside a garage in the 6500 block of Hallet Street in Shawnee.

Police and firefighters were called to the home at 6553 Hallet Street about 9:15 Wednesday morning.

Shawnee Police Sergeant Corey Wilburn says a Critter Control employee was at the home working on the roof, when something drew his attention to the garage.

Once in the garage, the employee called 911 reporting he believes the man had been electrocuted and was likely dead.

Shawnee firefighters extinguished a small fire in the garage and Johnson County Med-Act confirmed the man was deceased.

Police detectives are on scene investigating the incident.

The man’s identity has not been released.

Firefighters from the Overland Park Fire Department and Lenexa Fire Department also responded on the call.

The Kansas Highway Patrol has identified a 35-year-old Kansas City, Kansas man as the person killed in a crash with a tractor-trailer early Sunday morning.

Troopers say the crash occurred about 12:02 a.m. Sunday on northbound Interstate 35 just north of the 119th Street overpass.

The Highway Patrol's crash log says a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 was traveling northbound in an unknown lane when the driver lost control, ran off the road to the left, struck the median barrier wall, and became disabled in the left lane.

Troopers say a 2014 International semi-power unit was also traveling northbound in the left lane. The driver of the tractor-trailer did not see the disabled pickup and crashed into it.

The Olathe Fire Department and Johnson County Med-Act responded to the crash scene with Olathe Police and the Kansas Highway Patrol. The pickup's driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

On Monday, Troopers identified the driver of the pickup truck as Nolvin Nain Lopez-Flores, 35, of Kansas City, Kansas. The crash log says Lopez-Flores was not believed to have been wearing a seat belt.

The driver of the tractor-trailer was identified as a 62-year-old man from Buckner, Missouri. He was not injured in the crash. While this driver is named in the crash log, Operation 100 News will not be releasing his name as he has not been charged or accused of wrongdoing.

A law-enforcement officer at the scene confirmed to Operation 100 News that the tractor-trailer's driver remained on scene, called for help, and is cooperating with the investigation.

The Highway Patrol's crash log says next of kin notification was made by two Troopers about 11:50 p.m. Sunday.

Radio traffic from the investigating Troopers indicated the Highway Patrol was having difficulty locating a next of kin. The pickup truck involved was registered to Flores-Lopez's employer.
