KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Slushy roads made for difficult driving conditions and led to several crashes on Kansas City-area interstates Thursday.
Kansas City, Kansas, police and the Kansas Highway Patrol worked a multi-vehicle crash involving a semitrailer Thursday afternoon.
The crash happened around 1 p.m. on westbound I-70 near 57th Street. The interstate has since reopened. Police said no injuries have been reported so far in this crash.
That wasn’t the only crash to shut down an interstate Thursday after snow hit the the Kansas City area.
Early Thursday morning, the Missouri State Highway Patrol worked a crash on Interstate 29 involving three semitrailers that were blocking the highway.
Northbound I-29 was closed for several hours between Mexico City Avenue and 92 Highway in Platte County.
As of 7:50 a.m., the trucks were cleared from I-29, but traffic remained congested throughout the morning.
