Funeral arrangements have been made for a truck driver from Ash Grove, killed during Friday's storms in northeast Oklahoma.

Troopers there say Jimmy King's semi was knocked into a concrete barrier by straight line winds. He was trapped for three hours and died from his injuries.

Family members say King's visitation is set for Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. It's at the Ash Grove United Methodist-Presbyterian Church.

Memorial services will follow the next morning at 11:00 a.m., also at the church.
