A motor home headed to Minnesota has crashed in northeast Kansas, killing five people and sending 13 to the hospital.

The Kansas Highway Patrol said the northbound Freightliner motor home was carrying 18 people and pulling a trailer when the driver lost control at 9 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 35, hitting a guardrail and concrete bridge rail before crashing into a creek ravine.

Survivors were sent to area hospitals. They included Pauline Kerber, a 46-year-old widowed mother of 12 from Jordan, Minn., who was in critical but stable condition.

The dead included four of the Kerber children and one woman.

The crash remains under investigation.
