WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — At least three people died in separate crashes along Kansas highways on New Year’s Day. The crashes the Kansas Highway Patrol reported happened as a winter storm covered much of the state with snow and ice. Early Saturday, a 20-year-old Missouri man died after his car slammed into the back of a snowplow in Kansas City, Kansas. Then a 62-year-old Wichita woman died and three others were hurt when a GMC Suburban went into a ditch along Interstate 135 Saturday afternoon in McPherson County. Saturday evening, a 48-year-old Osage City woman died after she lost control of her GMC Yukon on U.S. Highway 56 in Osage County.
