GREELEY, Kan. (AP) 鈥� Two vehicles collided head-on and burst into flames on a two-lane highway in rural eastern Kansas, killing eight people, including a high school student, a teacher-coach and a school employee from Oklahoma, authorities said Monday.

Washington High School student Donald 鈥淒J鈥� Laster died in the crash, along with former Carver Middle School coach and teacher Wayne Walls and Tulsa Public Schools transportation team member Ja鈥檓on Gilstrap.

鈥淚 am heartbroken for those who lost loved ones, and committed to honoring the immense collective impact each of these people had in Tulsa and in the lives of our young people,鈥� Dr. Ebony Johnson, superintendent of Tulsa Public Schools, said in a statement. 鈥淚 am praying for their families and everyone involved, and hope others will continue to come alongside our students, team members, and families who are hurting.鈥�

The crash closed a section of the highway for four hours, and Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Jodi Clary said authorities were still working at the crash site Monday evening. The cause of the crash remained under investigation.

鈥淏oth cars burned up,鈥� Clary said.
