The winter crowds on Christmas night have a big impact on Monday morning trips. Despite early evening and nighttime work by crews from the City of Emporia, County of Lyon, and the Kansas Department of Transportation, travel is still limited to areas after a thin winter glaze of sleet and freezing rain develops after sunset. Smooth throughout. Intact slips were reported in every county, and the Kansas Highway Patrol handled three reported injuries in Osage County alone. I was taken to the hospital on Monday. Her 71-year-old George Pennington of Topeka and her 46-year-old Curtis Odham, a Topeka passenger, were taken to her Stormont-Vail hospital in Topeka with suspected minor injuries. Several vehicles collided at his BETO his Junkton on Interstate 35, but there were no hospitalizations as a result of the accident, according to the Coffey County Sheriff’s Office.
Regarding Monday morning’s move, Lyon county deputy Fernando Zuniga said drivers should slow down and increase their following distances.
Emporia has been reporting Level 2 crashes since evening. This is where uninjured crash drivers can exchange insurance information and report wreckage to the Lyon County Emergency Communications non-emergency number 620-343-4225 once the storm has cleared.
Highway conditions remain seasonal and fully covered, with Interstate 35 east of the U Road and U.S. Highway 75 south of the BETO junction, at its worst as of 6 a.m. status can be seen. Travel problems can last into the morning throughout the region.
Monday will be colder than first thought as a cold front pushes temperatures down to the mid-teens by 5pm and down to 5 degrees at night.
