SEDGWICK COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities investigating a fatal weekend motorcycle crash have identified the victim as a 40-year-old Adam Higgins of Hutchinson.
Just before 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Wichita Accident Follow Up detectives along with the Critical Accident Team were completing work on another fatal collision on Kellogg and were allowing traffic to proceed east, according to Officer Trevor Macy.
A Higgins was on a motorcycle eastbound in the lane for the off ramp to Woodlawn when Kellogg was reopened.
Higgins changed lanes into the outside lane of eastbound Kellogg, where he collided with a black Chevy pickup truck driven by a 42-year-old woman. The motorcycle struck the passenger side front of the truck. Higgins was ejected from the motorcycle, went underneath the truck and was then run over.
EMS transported Higgins to area hospital with critical injuries where he was later pronounced deceased, according to Macy.
