A former Bartlesville Public Schools coach and paraprofessional is one of eight people killed in a head-on wreck in Franklin County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol confirms Wayne Walls died in the crash that also took the lives of two Tulsa high school students, one from Booker T. Washington and the other from Union High School. The two-vehicle wreck happened at around 5:40pm yesterday on Highway 169 and Virginia Road in rural Franklin County.

Bartlesville Public Schools spokesperson Granger Meador says Grand Mental Health counselors will be available to support students and staff. The Kansas Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate.
