A 55-year-old woman who was trying to cross a street in a motorized wheelchair was hit by a vehicle and died in east Wichita. According to the Wichita Police Department the accident occurred just before 3 p.m. near the intersection of Rock Road and Funston.
Police Officer Trevor Macy says the woman was in an electric wheelchair. Her name has not been released. Macy says there does not appear to be a crosswalk at that location, just sidewalks on either side of Rock Road.
