OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Two people died after a crash along U.S. 69 Highway in Overland Park on Thursday morning.
Traffic crews briefly closed northbound lanes of U.S. 69 Highway and the eastbound ramp from Interstate 435 to north U.S. 69 Highway. The highway has since reopened.

Both the driver and a passenger were ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. They have been identified as 26-year-old Marquan Wilson and 44-year-old Amie Wood, both of Kansas City, Missouri.
