    One death, dozens of wrecks blamed on snow and ice
    Snowy and icy roads which caused one fatal accident on a Shawnee County bridge near Willard, kept authorities busy Friday night handling one car wreck after another.

    A Topeka man in his 30s was killed in a two-vehicle accident around 4:30 p.m. when he lost control of his two-door car on the icy Willard Bridge and slammed head on into a southbound pickup truck, Sheriff Dave Meneley said.

    The fatality victim’s name wasn’t immediately released. No one else was injured.

    Fatal Accident on Willard Bridge
    Snow and sleet combined late Friday to contribute to many motorist accidents in the area Friday, November 10. A Topeka man, Dickson G. Petrie, 34, was killed in a two-vehicle accident about 4:30 p.m. when he lost control of his two-door car on the icy Willard Bridge south of Rossville and slammed head-on into a southbound pickup truck driven by Jay W. Viergever, 34, Route 7, Topeka, Sheriff Dave Meneley said. Both drivers were alone in their vehicles. Meneley said that Viergever did not report any injuries.
