The family of a former Overland Park woman injured in a rollover crash in Platte County that killed her husband has set up a GoFundMe page to help cover medical and other expenses.
Courtney Wray Keene, an Overland Park native, was a passenger in a car driven by husband Chad, an Omaha, Neb., man killed in a single-vehicle wreck Saturday in Platte County.
Chad Keene, 32, was driving a 2013 Chevrolet southbound on Interstate 29 about 3:30 p.m. when he overcorrected and drove off the highway.
The airborne car overturned multiple times and struck several trees before coming to rest.
