Snowpacked and icy roads contributed to many vehicular accidents, one of which killed a 73-year-old man and his 59-year-old wife on Highway 71 when a semitrailer truck lost control, crossed the center line and struck their car head-on. Both vehicles caught fire and were totaled. The numerous other accidents involved property damage and some minor injuries but no additional fatalities.
