TOPEKA (AP) – The Kansas Highway Patrol is reporting that multiple accidents occurred on state highways in several counties as a winter storm moved into the state.

The patrol reported two accidents involving possible injuries Wednesday night on Interstate 135 in Wichita. Both involved drivers who lost control of their vehicles and hit barriers.

The patrol also reported an accident Wednesday afternoon on Kansas Highway 383 in Phillips County in northwest Kansas in which a driver lost control of a vehicle because of icy conditions, slid into a ditch and struck a tree.

And the patrol said another accident occurred Wednesday evening in Ford County, when the driver of a sport-utility vehicle traveling north on U.S. 83 lost control on ice and struck an oncoming pickup.
