LENEXA, Kan. (AP) A 13-year-old suburban Kansas City boy is dead after he was hit by a truck while trying to cross Interstate 35 with friends.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says Ezkial Crapo, 13, died in the accident Saturday night.
Officers say Crapo and two friends had gone to a Wal-Mart and were trying to return to an Overland Park home when he was struck. The boys made it across the northbound lanes and over a concrete median when Crapo was hit by a truck. The driver stopped and is cooperating with authorities.
