WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) - Trooper Chad Crittenden with Kansas Highway Patrol says there have been 235 crash deaths so far this year on Kansas highways alone, and while that's down 13% from this time last year, he says it can quickly trend back up. "Last week, I think we had 11 fatalities that the Highway Patrol worked. So, you know, just in a week's time, that number can drastically jump right back up," said Crittenden.

WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) - According to an update from the Kansas Department of Transportation, the ramp closure has been moved to Monday, September 16, the day after the Kansas State Fair ends.
