Lisa Kelly and Darrell Ward were both featured on the History Channel’s reality series “Ice Road Truckers.” Unfortunately, Darrell Ward passed away in a plane crash in 2016. After his death, the trucking company he planned to start did not come to fruition. Lisa Kelly continues to be active in trucking and has a significant following on social media.
Lisa Kelly became well-known through her appearances on “Ice Road Truckers,” showcasing her skills in navigating the dangerous ice roads of Alaska and Canada. She was one of the first women to take on such a prominent role in the show and in the industry, earning her a lot of respect and a large fan base.
Darrell Ward also gained fame on “Ice Road Truckers” for his daring personality and expertise on the icy roads. He had plans to start his own trucking company, which he discussed in the later seasons of the show. Tragically, before he could realize this dream, Ward died in a plane crash on August 28, 2016, while en route to film a pilot for a new documentary-style show about the recovery of plane wrecks.
The loss of Ward was a significant blow to the trucking community and his fans. The company he intended to establish was meant to focus on hauling goods to remote and challenging locations, similar to the work he did on the show. However, with his untimely death, the plans for the company were left unrealized.
Lisa Kelly, on the other hand, has continued her career in trucking. She often shares her experiences and adventures on social media, where she engages with fans and promotes the trucking lifestyle. Despite the challenges faced by the trucking industry, including the harsh conditions of ice road trucking, Kelly remains an influential figure and an inspiration to many aspiring truckers, especially women looking to break into the traditionally male-dominated field.
