iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Four people are dead from a single-car rollover crash in Kansas today amid snowy weather, the Kansas Highway Patrol said.
The accident was in a westbound lane of Interstate 70 near Abilene, about 90 miles west of Topeka. The National Weather Service said “light to moderate” snow was expected in the Abilene area this morning and warned of potentially slick roads.
It’s not yet clear if the crash was weather-related.
Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Ben Gardner tweeted that troopers “are working to complete ALL death notifications to the families involved before further info is released to the public.”
“May peace find those affected by today’s crash,” he added.
Earlier today the Kansas Highway Patrol said it was responding to multiple slide-offs in nearby Salina and warned drivers to slow down.
