A Carthage man was killed in a three-vehicle accident 4:40 p.m. today on Route FF, seven miles north of Diamond.

According to the Highway Patrol report, a 2001 Dodge Ram truck driven by Tyler M. Brown, 32, Diamond, was stopped in traffic attempting to make a left turn when the truck's trailer was struck in the rear by a 1998 Ford F-150 driven by Brice W. Allison, 29, Tulsa, Oklahoma, pushing it into the eastbound lane where it struck a 1997 Chevrolet C-10 truck driven by Corey D. Vanway, 38, Carthage.

The collision caused the Vanway vehicle to run off the roadway and overturn. The Allison vehicle ran off the roadway and struck a utility pole.

Newton County Deputy Coroner Jerry Deems pronounced Vanway dead at the scene at 4:44 p.m. Allison was treated for moderate injuries at Mercy Hospital, Joplin.  A passenger in the Vanway vehicle, Joseph J. Zahor, 34, was treated for serious injuries at Freeman West Hospital, Joplin.

The fatality was the 32nd fatality this year for Highway Patrol Troop D.
