Winter weather creates traffic chaos

(KNZA)--No serious injuries are reported following what Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says were three injury wrecks on icy Jackson County roadways Tuesday.

Morse says all totaled, Deputies responded to 11 different weather-related traffic mishaps during a two-hour period after the slick roads created chaos.

Along with the three injury crashes, Morse says Deputies responded to 5 non-injury wrecks and 3 slide-offs.

Morse says the majority of such incidents in winter weather are “due to drivers being in a hurry and driving too fast for conditions.”

He encourages all drivers to stay alert to developing conditions and to take extra time anytime winter weather affects travel routes.
