The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s office has identified their deputy who was killed in a two-vehicle accident Friday night in far northwest Wichita.
Sheriff Jeff Easter said Deputy Sidnee Carter died in the crash at the intersection of 29th Street North and 135th Street West around 9:30 p.m. Friday. Easter said Carter was driving south on 135th Street when her vehicle was struck by a west-bound vehicle on 29th Street that failed to stop at the stop sign. The driver of that vehicle, 28-year-old Kelvin W. Burgett, 28, of Prescott Valley, Arizona, was transported to a Wichita hospital with serious injuries.
The 22-year-old deputy had worked for a year and a half at the Sedgwick County Detention Facility before transferring to the Law Enforcement Bureau in February 2022. Deputy Carter graduated from the Law Enforcement Academy in July.
