HAYS (KSNT) – Motorists are being advised by state troopers to be careful driving on I-70 in Western Kansas as dust is picked up by an approaching storm front.
Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Tod Hileman took to social media to show Kansans what conditions are like near the City of Hays. He said the blowing dust has caused visibility on the highway to fall.
