GEARY COUNTY - Just before 11:00 am on Monday morning, emergency crews were dispatched to Interstate 70 between the Washington Street exit and the US-77 exit for a semi-truck which had jack-knifed.

Westbound Interstate 70 traffic was restricted to just one lane of traffic while crews worked to remove the semi-truck from the median.

Traffic was backed up to the Grandview Plaza exit while the lanes were reduced.

Junction City Fire Department posted a reminder on social media for drivers to slow down, wear seat belts and drive with headlights on when it rains.
