A tragic incident unfolded in Kansas when a couple who had crashed their vehicle during a winter storm remained undiscovered for a harrowing 18 hours. The couple, whose identities have not been disclosed, tragically lost their lives as they lay hidden from view of the road.
The incident serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers posed by extreme weather conditions, particularly during winter storms. Despite efforts to ensure road safety, accidents can happen, and it is essential for drivers to be prepared and take necessary precautions.
Authorities were alerted to the crash when a passerby spotted the wreckage. By the time emergency responders arrived at the scene, it was too late, and the couple had already succumbed to their injuries. The exact cause of the accident is yet to be determined.
Winter storms can create treacherous driving conditions, with icy roads, reduced visibility, and limited traction. It is crucial for drivers to adjust their driving habits and exercise caution when faced with such conditions. Slower speeds, maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles, and avoiding unnecessary travel during severe weather can help reduce the risk of accidents.
This tragic incident highlights the importance of staying vigilant and aware of potential hazards on the road, especially during adverse weather conditions. It serves as a reminder to all drivers to prioritize safety and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and others on the road.
A Kansas couple was found dead after being hidden from view of the road for 18 hours following a crash in a winter storm.
Nathaniel Boyd, 24, tragically lost his life alongside his girlfriend, Whitney Allmond, 26, in a devastating accident. Boyd, who had taken on the role of a father figure to Allmond’s two children, was on his way to pick her up from work. It was around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday when they were driving southbound on Interstate 235 and unintentionally drove up on an embankment. The impact caused them to be ejected from the car, resulting in their untimely demise.
According to reports, neither Boyd nor Allmond had been wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident. It was revealed that the police received a 911 call approximately 18 hours after the crash, around 6:20 p.m., as stated by ABC affiliate KAKE.

According to family members, Allmond was known for her strong work ethic, holding down two jobs to support her two young children, aged 4 and 2. They also revealed that she would have celebrated her 27th birthday on Wednesday if she had survived. Boyd’s mother spoke highly of her son, describing him as one of the most incredible individuals she had ever encountered.
According to Boyd’s mother, he had a deep care for his loved ones and had a special affection for Allmond’s children. It is made more challenging by the fact that he did not have life insurance. To ensure some financial stability for the kids and cover the costs of the funeral, both families have established a GoFundMe campaign.
“On Sunday, January 5th, we were hit with the heartbreaking news of Nathaniel Boyd, my brother’s best friend, passing away in a tragic car accident,” stated the fundraiser organized in memory of Boyd. “The unexpected loss has left us all shattered and in desperate need of support.”
“I am assisting Kerri, Nate’s mom, in creating the GoFundMe campaign,” the description stated. “The funds raised will be used to cover the expenses of the funeral.” The individual who initiated the fundraiser expressed that Boyd was like a third sibling to them. As of Tuesday, the campaign had generated $2,535, which is a significant step towards its $6,000 target.”
