Sheriff’s Office Investigating Fatal Car–Pedestrian Crash

SEDGWICK COUNTY, Kan.—The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fatal car-pedestrian crash that occurred early Sunday morning, Nov. 16, 2025, near K-15 Highway and MacArthur Road. 

At approximately 12:33 a.m., a Sedgwick County Sheriff’s deputy came upon a collision on southbound K-15 Highway just south of MacArthur. The deputy located a 33-year-old Newton man with critical injuries after being struck by a car. The deputy immediately began life-saving measures while Sedgwick County EMS and Sedgwick County Fire District 1 responded to the scene. The victim was transported by EMS to a Wichita hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

The preliminary investigation indicates that a Toyota Camry driven by a 22-year-old Wichita woman was traveling south on K-15 when it struck the man, who was in the roadway. The man was not in a crosswalk, and the reason he was in the roadway remains under investigation.

The driver stopped immediately after the collision, and speed and impairment are not suspected on the part of the driver.

This incident remains under investigation by the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office Major Crash Team.
