Sheriff’s office identifies two women killed in collision with semi south of Haysville
The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office has identified two women from Wellington who were killed in a head-on collision with a semi truck south of Haysville on Monday afternoon.
They are 67-year-old Patricia Boor and 62-year-old Tonya Acosta-Abernathy, sheriff’s office spokesperson Nathan Gibbs said in an email.
The crash was reported around 3:30 p.m. in the 9100 block of south Broadway just south of Haysville. Boor was heading north on Broadway in a black SUV when the SUV crossed into the southbound lane and struck a semi truck heading south on Broadway, Gibbs said.
Boor and Acosta-Abernathy were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, according to Gibbs.
The semi truck came to rest in front of a residence. No damage was done to any homes or structures. The driver of the semi, 57-year-old Richard Wicker of Gastonia, North Carolina, suffered serious injuries and was taken to a local hospital, Gibbs said.
Broadway between 87th and 95th streets was closed off for several hours.
