Patch of ice cripples Stiller car fleet in Kansas
A sequence of ice hazards near Donald and Mrs Stiller’s home in Clathe Kansas damaged two cars and disrupted replacements. A 1953 sedan was demolished on Jan 18 after a sliding motorist hit a hole and struck parked vehicles. A 1968 wagon sustained $680 damage, and a replacement 1960 model was hit again this week, prompting Mrs Stiller to joke about parking future cars on the porch.
