Russell man dies in Ellis County crash Hays Daily News A Russell man died Friday evening when he was thrown from the pickup truck he was driving after it left Interstate 70 and rolled in western Ellis County. A Kansas Highway Patrol accident report identified the victim as 60-year-old Curtis D. Keil. The crash occurred about 6:45 p.m. on I-70, about three miles east of Ellis, according to the report. It said Keil was alone driving a 2002 GMC pickup truck eastbound on I-70 in the right lane when the truck went off the highway on its south side. Keil tried to get back onto the highway but lost control of the truck, which crossed I-70's eastbound lanes and rolled at least twice as it went through the center median and into I-70's westbound lanes, ejecting Keil, the report said.
