A fourth teen was killed. She is identified as 16-year-old Hope James of Dighton.
Troopers say that everyone was buckled up.
The crash happened at around 10:30 Friday night on Interstate 70 in Ellis County on the east end of the Walker Bridge.

That's really sad, this is why the gov't needs to give and allow more deer permits to be issued to hunters. There are so many deer around. I counted 12 deer the other day in a pasture. What's more important gov't regulations on deer or freedom and saving human lives.

Unfortunately Truth the last time I was trying to buy ammo they were all out, and if you haven't read the papers, Obama is try to take our guns. All in all We have 4 more years of car vs. deer collisions coming.

SO DOES THIS GUY T-BONE. How inappropriate to say what he did on here when a young person is killed. What is the matter with this radio station to permit him to make the statement and not delete it. Maybe a complaint to the people who own the station will fire the guy who is suppose to be monitoring this site.

T-bone has created another name now he is iamgonnagetu4. I have been tracking him since he copied my name. Funny how the station cannot put a stop to this.
