This (Monday) morning’s wet snow created slippery driving conditions for many motorists, and resulted in numerous accidents. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says one of the crashes occurred at around 7:10-a.m. on Highway 34.  Officials report a van driven by 60-year old Patricia Roberts, of Afton, was traveling westbound in the north lane, when her vehicle slid on the ice/snow covered road in front of a Honda Civic driven by 48-year old Keith Hardy, of Villisca, that was in the south lane, also traveling west bound.

The Honda hit the drivers side middle section of the van, causing the van to slide up against a concrete bridge railing. The car continued west before stopping. Neither driver was injured, and no citations were issued, due to the weather/road conditions. Damage from the crash amounted to $11,100.
