Lisa Kelly and Darrell Ward were two truckers who gained fame through the History Channel reality series “Ice Road Truckers.” The show followed drivers who operate trucks on seasonal routes crossing frozen lakes and rivers in remote Arctic territories in Canada and Alaska.<\/p>\n
Lisa Kelly is known as one of the few female truckers featured on the show. She became one of the series’ most popular cast members due to her trucking skills and her ability to hold her own in what is traditionally a male-dominated profession. Kelly began her trucking career in her 20s and quickly gained fame after joining “Ice Road Truckers” during its third season.<\/p>\n
Darrell Ward, another fan favorite on the show, was known for his fearlessness and expertise in heavy haul trucking, particularly on the dangerous ice roads depicted in the series. He joined the show in the sixth season and was a part of it until his untimely death.<\/p>\n
In 2016, Ward and Kelly had announced plans to start their own trucking company, which was to be documented in a new series titled “Ice Road Truckers: Deadliest Roads.” However, before the plans could come to fruition, Darrell Ward tragically passed away in a plane crash on August 28, 2016, while on his way to film a pilot for a new documentary-style show about the recovery of plane wrecks.<\/p>\n
After Ward’s death, it’s unclear what became of the planned trucking company. Lisa Kelly continues to have a presence in the trucking world, and she still commands a significant fan base from her time on “Ice Road Truckers.” She occasionally updates her fans about her life and trucking adventures through her social media accounts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
