The Colorado convoy left from a truck stop in Aurora on Thursday afternoon and spent the night in central Kansas. They will continue east on Interstate 70 through Topeka, Kansas City and into Missouri Friday.

The convoy is a spinoff from a protest in Canada started by truckers upset at vaccine requirements to cross the Canadian border.
