The strongest icing will occur from Salina through Dodge City, but areas further southeast from Topeka through Wichita will also have significant icing. Travel will be treacherous through the day on Sunday as temperatures fight to reach above freezing.
“Travel should only be done in an emergency as roads and sidewalks will be ice covered and very slick,” Hoegg said. “Conditions can switch rapidly over brief distances on roadways and anyone that has to be out will want to take extreme caution.”
Numerous crashes occurred due to drivers losing control of their vehicles on the ice-covered roadways, including one fatality, according to Missouri State Highway Patrol.
A duo of crashes involved vehicles that glided off the roadway striking an embankment and guard rails.
