Weather-related deaths

The wintry weather contributed to traffic crashes that killed people in several states, authorities said.

A 60-year-old woman died Thursday in Miami County, Indiana, after she lost control of her vehicle and crashed in slick road conditions, the state’s police said.

 

One person was also killed Thursday in Canton, Ohio, and another in Maryland, police said. In Mississippi, a tour bus crashed Wednesday, killing two people and wounding several others. The bus, carrying 46 people, was traveling from Huntsville, Alabama, to Tunica, Mississippi, Sgt. Joseph Miller of the Mississippi Highway Patrol said. The other occupants were taken to area hospitals with various injuries, Miller said. The cause of the crash was weather-related.

Arkansas Highway Patrol reported two separate incidents in which three people were killed after drivers lost control of cars on icy roads.
