Newly married dad of newborn twin girls killed on his drive to work in Kansas crash

A newly married father of newborn twin girls was killed in a southeast Kansas crash on his drive to work on Tuesday morning.

George Everett Larson, 22, of Bronson was driving northbound in a 1993 Oldsmobile Regency on K-3 about 12 miles north of Bronson, a Kansas Highway Patrol crash report states. About 7:20 a.m., the car went off the east side of the roadway and the driver lost control, re-entered the highway, crossed both lanes of traffic and drove into a ditch, where the car rolled once.

Larson was pronounced dead at the scene, the crash report states.

He married his wife less than 6 months ago, and their twin daughters were born earlier this year, a GoFundMe page states. The page, set up by Larson’s sister-in-law, states that he was on his way to work. Larson and his wife, Becky, had five more children. Money raised will go toward a new vehicle, bills and funeral expenses.

DreamScape Innovations, a Mound City landscaping company, said in a Facebook post that Larson was “a great employee” and “he was taken from this world way (too) soon.”
