A Kansas man is dead and another injured following a one-vehicle crash in the north-central part of the state.

The Phillips County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that at around 7:56 p.m. on Friday, Brian Martin, 39, of Smith Center, was driving a 2008 Nissan passenger car in Phillipsburg when he swerved to miss a deer.

Authorities said Martin lost control of the vehicle which went airborne and rolled. 

A passenger in the vehicle, Lucas Martin, 42, of Phillipsburg, was ejected from the vehicle.

Authorities said Brian was able to call 911 but was unable to give an exact location. He succumbed to his injuries prior to emergency personnel locating the crash.

Disoriented, Lucas wandered from the crash scene, but was eventually located by a family member and transported via ambulance to Phillips County Hospital. His condition is unknown.
