(KMZA)--A single-vehicle wreck in Washington County, Kansas over the weekend claimed the life of an Odell, Nebraska father and his stepson.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office says killed in the wreck Friday evening on K-9 Highway near Waterville was 42-year-old Bill Schotte and his 11-year-old stepson, Kayne Stoute.
The Sheriff’s office says Schotte was westbound when his 1999 International truck left the roadway. The vehicle continued down an embankment and overturned, coming to rest on its top.
Both Schotte and Stoute were pronounced dead at the scene.
Stoute was a sixth grader at the Good Shepherd Lutheran School in Marysville.
A joint funeral service will be held Wednesday morning at 10:00 at the Immanuel Lutheran Church north of Bremen.
The Kinsley Mortuary in Marysville is handling the arrangements.
