The pattern of heavy rain in the Kansas City area continued this past week, leading to flooding in parts of the city and drivers stranded in their vehicles while the weather cleared up.
A section of Interstate 70 near downtown, Indian Creek and East 23rd Trafficway, near Interstate 435, flooded and stranded cars. Severe weather led to one person dying after their vehicle crashed into a concrete post supporting an overhead highway sign on Interstate 35 late Thursday, June 23, in Johnson County.
If you’re in the middle of the highway on your way home and it starts to flood, should you wait it out until the rain stops? Is it safe to drive on the highway?…
