When the accident occurred, John F. Frame, was walking south — facing oncoming traffic — on the east side of 174th Street. A 1999 Pontiac minivan driven by Betty J. Scheller, 77, Basehor, also was headed south and apparently crossed the center line and struck Frame, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

Frame died at the scene of the accident, which occurred about 3:50 p.m. Wednesday. The accident occurred on 174th Street about 0.3 of a mile north of Donahoo.

Highway Patrol reports said Frame’s wife was at the scene when the accident occurred.

Scheller was wearing a seatbelt and was not injured.
