An 82-year-old Yoakum man was killed in a two-vehicle wreck at 10 a.m. Friday.

Marion resident Bobby Lee Burleson, age not available, was travelling north on US Highway 183 in a 2000 Freight Line tractor pulling a dump truck when the two vehicles collided, according to the report. Burleson was uninjured.

DPS Trooper Joel Johnson of Gonzales conducted the investigation.

Wyatt was not wearing a seatbelt, according to the report.
