KMIZ

ROLLA, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri State Highway Patrol says icy streets contributed to two fatal crashes in central Missouri after a storm left hazardous driving conditions across much of the state. The patrol says 52-year-old John Mattingly, of St. Peters, died Thursday when his car slid on ice, left the road and hit a guardrail before flipping along Interstate 44 near Rolla. And the patrol says 18-year-old  Justin Tognozzi, of Ballwin, died early Friday when he lost control of his car on Interstate 70 in Callaway County and hit a semi-trailer truck that stopped for another crash. It was one of three crashes within a mile of each other that shut down the westbound lanes of the interstate for several hours.
