Four people from Texas were killed Friday after the truck they were in hit ice, rolled and then became submerged, according to Kansas Highway Patrol crash logs.
Larry Klingensmith, 66, of Winnsboro, Texas, was driving a 2019 Dodge Ram north on Highway U69 in Linn County when he “struck an icy patch on the roadway,” crash logs say.
