Deadly weather

All this snow, ice and cold is more than an inconvenience. It also is deadly.

An 85-year-old near Traverse City, Michigan was killed when he was struck by a car while crossing the road to get his mail in whiteout conditions.
Also in Michigan, a Kalkaska County man was using a snow blower in his driveway when a car slid off the road and fatally struck him.
An 18-vehicle pileup in whiteout conditions on I-80 in western Pennsylvania killed two and injured two dozen others.
One of the trucks was carrying hazardous material, but no leaks were found.
