WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Traffic heading north on Kansas Highway 15 through Derby on Monday afternoon may have wondered why their car suddenly smelled like the inside of a coffee shop.
It’s because a semi hauling coffee extract began leaking on K-15, near Red Powell Drive between Meadowlark Boulevard and Patriot Avenue.
