A 23-year-old Tonganoxie man died Saturday following an early-morning double fatality wreck on Interstate-35 in Johnson County.
Robert D. Mangelsdorf Jr., Tonganoxie, was driving a 2003 GMC Sierra truck about 3:20 a.m. north on I-35 near Lamar Avenue in Mission when a Ford F-250 truck driven by Sam E.
