According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, 38-year-old Mario Martinez Arias was northbound on K-156 near Avenue U, just southwest of Holyrood, when for unspecified reasons, Arias lost control of the 1999 Toyota Camry he was driving. The Camry left the road on the north side of the roadway, and entered a field access drive. The vehicle became airborne, struck the north ditch, and came to rest facing south.
