Sedgwick County officials are investigating a pair of crashes on north Ridge Road in the span of 11 hours, including one that turned fatal.

The initial crash took place just after 9:30 Friday night, in the 8200 block of North Ridge Road.


The Sedgwick County Sherriff's Office says a group of people were trying to remove a disabled vehicle that was partially in a ditch, when it was struck from behind by another vehicle. The crash critically injured the person inside the disabled car.

The sheriff's office says neither speed nor distracted driving were factors in the crash, but simply a case where the car couldn't be seen well on the dark road.

Saturday morning just before 8:15, emergency crews responded to another injury accident, this time at the intersection of 85th Street North and Ridge Road. The sheriff's office says a woman died after she ran a stop sign at the intersection and was struck by a southbound truck. The driver of the truck had minor injuries.

The crash brought down power lines at the site.
