Wednesday night’s blizzard conditions and its prolonged effects led to several area accidents, including a fatal three-vehicle accident in Ford County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reports that a 21-year-old Dallas man was killed Thursday night around 7:45 on Highway 50 east of Dodge City. A semi-truck was westbound near milemarker 136.9 when blizzard conditions lead to a semi-truck to collide head-on with the vehicle the Dallas man was riding in. A third vehicle following the semi-truck was also involved in the accident. The drivers of the three vehicles were listed as having possible injuries.

A 58-year-old Colby man was also injured in another three-vehicle accident around 4:30 p.m. Thursday near Colby when a vehicle lost control and another swerved to miss the spun vehicle, striking another car head-on. No other injuries were listed in this accident.

On Friday morning a 53-year-old Colorado Springs man had possible injurie when the vehicle he was driving hit a patch of ice as he was traveling westbound on I-70, causing him to lose control with the vehicle rolling onto its passenger side in the north ditch.

Another accident Friday occurred on Highway 40 just east of Hays when the driver lost control of a Ford Ranger, with the vehicle rolling onto its passenger side. The driver reportedly refused treatment at the scene.
