A winter storm that is moving through the Kansas City region has made travel in the metro dangerous and in some areas impossible as crashes and stranded vehicle are piling up.
“We need your help!” the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Kansas City said on Twitter. “Our crews are having difficulties clearing roadways due to crashes and stranded vehicles. We need a clear path to clear a path for motorists.”
