This Is Spring? Snow Causes Campus Mishap
Snow driven by fierce north winds covered the campus today, making driving treacherous after the spring-like weather two days ago.
Monday's temperature at 2 p.m.
was 33 degrees. At 1 p.m. today the
temperature was 28 degrees, a drop
of 57 degrees in less than 48 hours.
Campus police reported one accident at 9:15 a.m. in front of Rowlands Book Store. An automobile driven by Demetrius Moutsanides, graduate student from Athens, Greece, struck a meat company truck. Moutsanides told police he was driving at a low rate of speed when his vehicle skidded into the truck parked on the right. Moutsanides said the truck did not allow room enough to pass through safely
The Lawrence Police Department reported one accident which occurred at 8:29 a.m. in the 1900 block on Louisiana. No injuries were reported. Damages were set at $40 to one car and $30 to the other vehicle.
