Icy and snow packed roads caused 16 accidents in Garden City from Wednesday into Thursday morning. In Kansas Avenue’s four lane corridor two consecutive crashes disrupted traffic for over an hour Wednesday afternoon.

A miscommunication led to a tractor trailer jackknifing across eastbound lanes after a turn at Kansas and 3rd, delaying traffic nearly two hours before flow resumed. Driver Rodney R. Jantzen, Cimarron, for Proeh] Brother's Trucking of Pierceville, collided with Brenda S. Sanchez, 1508 N. 8th.
