    The State Patrol, KARP/KDUZ news, NEWS on their website & Hutchinson Leader’s report on this accident have all had the “wool pulled over their eyes”. This man gave you a false last name. It is Klapotz. YES, with an L. He was driving his tractor because he does NOT have a driver’s license. WHY?? Because he lost his license a long time ago. And because there was alcohol involved, maybe you did NOT understand him when he was asked his last name?? And also – Why did he NOT hold out his arm to signal his left hand turn??? Because of HIM 2 people were injuried & a vehicle damaged. Check out address.com & see who his aliases are!!! Let’s put this man where he belongs. NOW!!!
