The truck left the road and overturned several times, coming to rest on the driver’s side.

Lewis and one passenger, 20-year-old Gavin Lewis from Nortonville, both suffered suspected serious injuries and were transported to a hospital in Topeka.

Two other passengers in the truck were killed. They are identified as:

  • 46-year-old Christopher Webb from Topeka

The patrol says John Lewis was the only one buckled up.
