A potentially dangerous incident on Interstate 35 was averted when Lyon County Deputies intercepted a semi-truck driver who was severely intoxicated. Reports of erratic driving led to the traffic stop, revealing the driver tested at seven times the commercial limit and over three times the regular limit for alcohol. The driver is in custody.

The Kansas Highway Patrol has noted an increase in speeding drivers despite adverse weather conditions. Recently, Trooper Jason Fraser cited a motorist for driving 100 mph in a 75 mph zone on I-135 in McPherson County, resulting in a $150 fine. The trend raises safety concerns on the roads.
