Dale Sharpe killed this morning in KS traffic accident

[Jesse Risley]

A post appeared this morning on Dale Sharpe's Instagram page (IG @ dkphotographyau) that he was killed about 6 hours ago in a traffic accident near Harper, Kansas. Dale was an Australian photographer and storm chaser who apparently was over here this month visiting and storm chasing. He's fairly well known for his photography. Since this just happened this morning, I haven't seen any formal press releases.

That is terrible.

Very shocked sad to hear. Dale was an accomplished photographer and well known in the Australian chaser community.
