iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Six deaths have been reported in parts of the Midwest as below-freezing weather and ice created havoc this weekend for travelers.
Five of the six deaths were vehicle-related. Two of the vehicle-related deaths occurred in Kansas, one of them took place in Oklahoma, and two more took place in Missouri, according to authorities in those states.
The sixth death took place in Missouri, and was called simply “weather related” by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Weather conditions also prompted the NFL to switch the AFC divisional playoff game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chiefs to Sunday evening in an effort to allow more time to treat roads and parking lots at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium.
The game was scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. but now will start at 8:20 p.m ET, ESPN reported.
