Weather to blame for 30-car pileup: one death and many injured.
Posted on Jan 16, 2010
Thick morning fog and slippery roads are to blame for a series of car crashes involving about 30 vehicles on Interstate 35 southwest of Kansas City.
The accidents occurred around 7:40 am on Saturday, January 16 covering more than a mile of I-35 near Wellsville in Franklin County, Kansas. Cars, pick-up trucks, minivans and tractor-trailers collided in four separate wrecks. The largest crash involved 19 vehicles in the southbound lane of I-35 at the 194 mile marker, just south of the junction with Kansas 33. Another accident involved six vehicles.
A young child and at least six others sustained critical wounds or head injuries. A bus from Johnson County was sent to handle 24 crash victims with minor injuries. The injured were sent to at least four area hospitals.
The Kansas Highway Patrol believes the pileup began with an accident involving a tow truck. Temperatures were near freezing and fog blanketed the road. One accident victim claimed that he slid after hitting a patch of black ice.
Seventeen Kansas Highway Patrol officers and emergency crews from Franklin, Miami, Johnson and Anderson counties worked to help the injured and clear the wreckage. The roads reopened around 9:30 pm.
Fog and icy weather are the major cause of large pileups. No one is at fault in these accidents, yet insurance companies will still try to get out of paying benefits. If you are having difficulty getting fair compensation for your injuries, we can help. Contact the Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys to learn more.
