WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A man who struck and killed two people in November of 2022 has been sentenced to prison.

Travis Mock pled guilty in May to two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of 18-year-old Emily Stein and 20-year-old Christian Evans. The two were pulled over on the on-ramp to eastbound K-96 from northbound Interstate 135 to investigate a flat tire when Mock crashed into them.
