SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities investigating a fatal motorcycle crash have made an arrest.
Just before 3a.m. Saturday, police responded to an injury accident at 17th Street North and Tyler Road in Wichita, according to Officer Trevor Macy.
At the scene, first responders located 20-year-old Jacob Fowler and 20-year-old Levi Ward both of Wichita. They had been riding a 2004 Honda Shadow motorcycle northbound on Tyler Road.
As the motorcycle approached 17th Street, a 2011 Dodge Dakota driven by 23-year-old Collin Becker of Wichita entered the intersection from 17th Street. The motorcycle struck the pickup and both Fowler and Ward were ejected and died of their injuries.
Becker left the scene of the accident and returned later where police arrested him on requested charges of failure to stop at an accident resulting in death. Police will report their findings to the Sedgwick County District Attorney.
