Dust storms have proven deadly to motorists across the U.S. for years. Authorities say a dust storm last week reduced visibility to nearly zero on Interstate 70 in western Kansas.

This was the scene of devastation after dozens of vehicles collided in the US state of Kansas. At least eight people were killed in the major crash caused by a dust storm on Friday. Aerial images show the scale of the devastation, with scores of lorries and cars crumpled together.
