With the upcoming winter weather, the Kansas Highway Patrol wants to make you aware it is Crash Responder Safety Week.

KHP first responders, such as their motorist assist technicians, as seen in the photo, are always happy to help provide safety and security to motorists. However, please help keep all first responders safe by moving over or slowing down when you see flashing lights on the side of the road.

The best advice for driving in winter weather is to slow down and give plenty of distance between you and the next car. Remember just having 4-wheel drive does not stop any vehicle.
