A motorcycle run will begin at Kickstart, 2521 N. Kansas at 10:30 a.m., with stops at The Dugout, Louie’s Lounge, Abigail’s and the American Legion Capital Post 1.

Kade Lenard, 13, of Rossville, was injured.

All three of the student fatality victims, Gaby and Devin Greeve and Tyler, all of Topeka, were passengers in the same car, a white 1999 Subaru Impreza that Devin Greeve was driving. The fourth fatality victim, Lenard, was the driver in a gray 2007 Pontiac Vibe.

The crash between the Impreza and the Vibe occurred about 7:20 that morning in the 8400 block of N.W. US-24 highway, about 50 yards west of Humphrey Road. According to the KHP, the crash occurred when the Impreza, which was westbound on US-24, dropped off the right shoulder and
