Kansas stayed frigid Wednesday, but a storm system that caused at least three fatal accidents had moved out of the state.

The storm, which coated roads across the state with freezing rain and light snow Tuesday, causing countless accidents and cancelling several events.

On Wednesday morning, a tow truck driver, David L. William, 62, of Maple Hill, was killed while responding to a one-vehicle rollover accident about 12 miles west of Topeka on Interstate 70, patrol spokesman Lt. John Eichkorn said.

William, the owner of William’s Wrecker Service, was hooking his tow truck to the vehicle that had rolled over into a ditch when the truck began to slide on the icy highway. The truck slid down the ditch, pinning Williams between the truck and the car and killing him, Eichkorn said. The driver of the car that rolled into the ditch was not injured.

Juanita June Wyant, 66, of Westmoreland, died Tuesday morning when her car slid into a van on Kansas Highway 99 in Pottawatomie County, the Kansas Highway Patrol said.

Dylan R. Jones, 6, of Rose Hill, was pronounced dead Tuesday at a Wichita hospital after the sport utility vehicle he was riding in lost control on an icy road in Butler County and was broadsided by an oncoming vehicle.

Tuesday along a five-mile stretch of Kansas Highway 18 near Manhattan, about 30 vehicles were involved in accidents or slid off the roadway, according to Lt. Kurt Moldrup of the Riley County Police Department.

Moldrup said some of the vehicles were involved in chain-reaction crashes and others in individual accidents as they approached hills and curves along the roadway.
