Laurie Renee Rowe was killed when deputy Regina F. Strown's patrol car was rear-ended on the freeway. Rowe had reportedly completed a jail sentence in Wyandotte County, and was being transported in Strown's Ford Crown Victoria to a Topeka prison to serve time for forgery and narcotics charges. Just after noon, an SUV hit Strown's cruiser from behind on westbound I-70 in a construction zone. Strown's car then hit a pickup truck. Rowe, who was shackled in the backseat, could not brace herself and was killed. The driver of the SUV suffered critical injuries. Strown was seriously injured in the crash.
