If you have a vehicle that is disabled and parked on the shoulder of an interstate or highway , you need to move it quickly. The Kansas Highway Patrol is preparing for the impending winter storm that will be affecting the area tomorrow. They say they will be towing any abandoned vehicles from the shoulders of interstates and highways. The removal of theses vehicles will begin today at noon. Abandoned vehicles inhibit K-DOT’s ability to completely clear the roadway of snow. Towing the vehicles will assist K-DOT in the snow removal process.

Troopers and motorist assist technicians will continue to remove vehicles from the roadways until K-DOT has completely removed the snow. If you have a vehicle that has been removed from the roadway, call “star 47” to speak with Kansas Highway Patrol communications to determine where the vehicle was towed. The cost of towing vehicles will be at the owner’s expense.
