Winter storm leaves deadly mark on the Midwest

At least two deaths are blamed on the winter storm that blew through the Midwest this weekend closing schools and forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights. Police near Flint, Michigan, say one person was killed Friday after a semitrailer crashed into a car that was stopped in traffic on U.S. 23. In Naperville, Illinois, a hospital spokesman says a man in his 60s suffered a fatal heart attack Friday morning while shoveling snow. The National Weather Service reported at least 8 inches of snow fell in the Chicago suburb. Michigan State Police also tallied 16 semis among 38 vehicles involved in a chain-reaction crash amid heavy snowfall on Interstate 94 near Kalamazoo. No serious injuries were reported. The weather service also reported 11 inches of snow near South Bend, Indiana.
