WICHITA, Kan. (AP) A winter storm has closed schools, snarled traffic and caused a fatality crash in Kansas.
The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory today for northeast and southern Kansas. Accumulations of 1 to 4 inches were predicted.
The Kansas Department of Transportation says multiple roads are partially or completely snow covered.
Several crashes were reported. The Kansas Highway Patrol says 21-year-old Jimmy Romero was killed Sunday when a pickup truck in which he was riding overturned on an icy Wichita road.
The patrol also worked a five-vehicle wreck Sunday in Riley County involving three tractor-trailers.
