A winter storm has dumped heavy snow on the U.S. Midwest, with reports of at least five weather-related roadway deaths.
Casualties included a woman and her 14-year-old stepdaughter whose car slid into the path of a semitrailer in Clinton, about 80 miles southeast of Kansas City, on Jan. 11, the Missouri State Highway Patrol said. Another woman died when her car slid on U.S. 24 in northern Missouri and was hit by an oncoming SUV.
