I-70 westbound at the 295 exit continues to be closed while authorities continue to work a non-injury accident on I-7- west of Junction City another accident has been reported on K-18 west of the city. Emergency Manager Garry Berges said there has been one injury in that latter accident.

Berges also advised the public, “People need to stay off the road. There’s no reason to be out. Even our emergency responders, our fire and law enforcement can’t get very fast. We’re doing 15-20 mph and can’t get, visibility is down to just about nothing. It’s very dangerous even for us to be out here. So people need to stay off the road as much as possible. Wait until 2 or 3 o’clock when this clears up and let us and let the KDOT people and the public works people do their work.”

Geary County Emergency Management Director Garry Berges has announced that Interstate 70 is being closed westbound at the 295 exit at U.S. 77 on the southwest side of Junction City.

There has been a six vehicle non-injury accident about three miles west of that location, including a semi that has jackknifed. Traffic was backing up. Berges estimated the snow would be through Geary County in two to three hours.
