KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Freezing drizzle and low temperatures hit sections of Missouri, making travel icy and treacherous.
The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for much of the area Friday through late Saturday. The weather service said some areas would also get light snow. Wind chills in sections of Kansas were also expected to fall to 15 to 25 below zero late Saturday.
The Missouri Department of Transportation said in a release that slick spots were reported on highways across the state Friday. The department says road conditions could get worse as rapidly dropping temperatures combine with more rain, ice and snow.
Several accidents were reported in the St. Louis area, and Jefferson City police said officers responded to numerous weather-related incidents, including four rollovers and eight injury crashes.
